My team was wondering about the supports used to hold the axles on the transmissions
Any Ideas?
P.S.
Sorry its our rookie year and im a new member so i dont know much
T___T
Do you mean the black bearing blocks on the BB transmittions?
Ummm
Im talking about the axle like thing that comes out of the transmission where you put the sprockets on.
What exactly do you want to know?
Strength?
Weight?
Capability?
Necessity?
Color options?
On the other side you should mount a pillow block. You can use ones Igus makes, I think BB also makes some, and basically anywhere will have something that will work.

Ok i think you mean how to support the axle on the other side to prevent a cav. load. Well what my team did was fab up at bearing block and mount it on to the frame rail. like this
yeah thats exactly what I was talking about
Thanks from 2073

BaneBots makes a bearing block that is reasonably priced. If you use the dual-motor adapter, the block you remove can be used by adding an inexpensive flanged bronze bearing (1/2" I.D. x 3/4" O.D.) and a spacer or shaft collar to keep it from backing out.
