Finally I got to test one of these serious blanks in a
real situation.
Just to finish off the worm housing it was fitted to alum
plate and a bracket made to adapt it to my DEC axis.
I also re-arranged the thrust bearing/end bearing so
tightening worked better. Had to re-turn another M6 for the
end nut. PIC 1
The finished bracket with slotted holes and set screws for
mesh adjustment shown here : PIC 2
Pics 3 and 4:
Installed on the DEC axis and in mesh.
A thrust plate locked to the DEC shaft is immediately beneath
the worm gear, which without any clutch pressure, the worm gear
freely rotates.
I drove this arrangement using a battery drill stuck on the end
straight shank of the worm.
Drove nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :
