… from a company in the good ol USA who seemed to dig that i build irresponsibly steezy boards.
These will be 16T for 12mm belts, keyed for the 3mm keys we use with our motors and have grubs in the belt surface because they will have no overhang and feature flanges on both sides. It will fit the standard 8mm shaft on most motors.
I’m doing this because nobody seems to want to stock this particular style of motor pulley anymore and i fucking need them.
So they will also be available for sale in my shop because i try to make everything i use available if at all feasible
If this works out i may see if they can also produce an aluminum variant of my 36T kegel based wheel pulley because 16/36 on 100mm boas seems to be a damned fine sweet spot for just about everyone who has set foot on my current build.
Just an update: The set screws are at a 90 deg angle to each other, with one over the keyway and one on the shaft. Also they are M3, not M4 as I previously stated.
still waiting on a drawing from them in metric units before i post it, but i have verified for myself that the measurements are right. The belt surface area is 13.0048 exactly.
the plan is to approve it and give them money today if they get it back to me in time. I’m not yet sure what the turnaround time will be.
I was able to get this moving, but we’re looking at about 4 more weeks of lead time apparently. So hopefully in about a month we’ll have some steel motor pulleys happening.
