SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on mounting a keyed bore roller pinion to a DC motor for a linear actuator project. The roller pinion from Nexen Group requires a compatible motor with a parallel shaft and a matching keyway groove. To successfully mount the pinion, users must insert a metal key into both keyways and implement a mechanism, such as a side screw or nut, to prevent axial movement during operation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of keyed bore mechanisms
  • Familiarity with DC motor specifications
  • Knowledge of linear actuator design
  • Basic mechanical assembly skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Research compatible DC motors with parallel shafts and keyway grooves
  • Learn about the selection and installation of metal keys for keyed connections
  • Explore methods to secure components axially, such as using side screws or nuts
  • Investigate linear actuator design principles and best practices
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, hobbyists designing linear actuators, and anyone involved in the assembly of motorized systems requiring keyed connections.

I'm trying to make a 3D model of a linear actuator. I'm using this roller pinion: http://www.nexengroup.com/nxn/products/details/id/966828

It has a keyed bore and says I need a shaft mount but I have no idea how I'm supposed to mount it to a DC motor...

Could someone please explain the parts I will need and how to mount it? I know this is a really stupid question but I've been stuck on this for a while now and it's doing my head in

Basically - yes . But there must also be a means of stopping wheel from sliding off axially when in use . Typically a side screw in wheel or a nut on end of shaft .

Thank you!
