bishbosh Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Can any of you fine folk put your hands on a Bowmotor or Warn XP motor please? I have a little Christmas project on the go and I am keen to know some dimensions: 1. How far does the drive shaft project from the face of the case? 2. What are the major and minor diameters of the splines? 3. How many splines are there (I believe it is 20?) 4. What length of the shaft is splined? 5. Are the splines straight cut or involute? 6. What is the external diameter and width of the shaft support bearing? Thanks very much! Oh, and some pics would be great too...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 You've downloaded an illegal copy of "VapourCAD" for Christmas and you're looking to dimension up a project? I've got a Milemarker motor you can borrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I've only just seen this Bish and am off out in a few... If no-one has obliged by tomorrow morning then I'll happily take a measuring stick to the garage and wave it around my spare XP for you... Can you just confirm the term 'involute'??? (The oppsite, of course being 'extrolute'.... ) I am guessing that it means angular sides with a flat bottom... but am more than probably wrong...

Orange Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Pics as promised... Not entirely sure how helpful they are, but you'll have a real-life one to look at soon by the sounds of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
