Step 12: Install Linkage Shaft
Assemble the D-shaft linkage and mount it to Sub Assembly C.
Parts needed
| Part | Count |
|---|---|
| 6mm D-Shaft Stainless Steel, 2101-0006-0060, GoBilda | 1 |
| 6mm Bore 1-Side, 2-Post Pillow Block, 1602-0032-0012, GoBilda | 2 |
| Ball Joint Rod End | 2 |
| Steel Set-Screw Collar 6mm, 2920-0001-0006, GoBilda | 2 |
| M4x14 Socket bolts | 4 |
Instructions
Take the 6mm D-Shaft Stainless Steel and put 2 – Steel Set-screw collar onto it. Move it to the middle of the D-Shaft.
Take 2 – Ball Joint Rod End and put it one each on the left and right of the D-Shaft.
Take 2 – 6mm Bore 1-Side, 2-Post Pillow Blocks and put one each on the left and right of the D-shaft.
Take current Sub Assembly C and flip it such that part is facing downward toward the floor.
Then take the D-shaft component we have been building and align it with part and according to the visualization below.
Take 4 – M4x14 Socket bolts and lightly tighten into the holes on part to align the 2 Pillow Block legs threaded holes.
Once the parts are aligned, remove each of the M4x14 sockets, apply the threadlocker onto them and tighten them back into the holes to secure part to the 2 Pillow Block.
Turn the current subassembly around such that part is facing downward toward the floor. You need to flush the 2 – Ball Joint Rod to flush against the 2 Pillow Block, then tighten the set-screw on the Steel Set-screw collar to secure them in place accordingly.
