Re: pic: Shaft Drive Bearing Blocks
I believe(haven't actually calculated) that the shafting will end up weighing about the same as the chain required to drive a similar system.
Last year I got annoyed with tensioning chain. If I do it properly I won't have to worry about it breaking(though the same goes for a properly designed chain system). It is different. Its cool. Why not(seriously I would like to be critiqued. Though I probably don't have to ask on CD)? I just checked out the weight issue a little bit. #35 rollerchain is about .275 lbs/foot If you use 6 feet that is about 1.25 lbs the shafting in this system only weighs about .25 lbs If you went with #25 like a lot of teams the the chain is lighter I still havn't looked into sprockets vs miter gear weight Last edited by MAteo9944 : 30-12-2006 at 02:15.
