CUTTING THE DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY
The inner drive shaft is shipped separate from the turntable and
consists of the following:
Drive shaft section (A) is 2.37 inches diameter by 82 inches long
with a grooved 1.06 inch diameter end for the turntable side.
Drive shaft section (B) is 2.37 inches in diameter by 72 inches long
with a knurled 1.0 inch diameter end for the motor drive side.
A shaft coupling with ¼-20 self-tapping screws for joining the
above two shaft sections.
Follow the steps below to cut the shaft to the desired length. The
material is PVC and can be cut with a hand saw or reciprocating
saw with a 6 inch long blade.
1. Determine the distance DIM1 from the center of the turntable
to the mounting holes in the floor support next to the motor
drive unit. This DIM1 dimension will be critical in figuring the
length of the drive shaft and shaft housing.
2. Determine the total length that the drive shaft needs to be after
both sections (A) and (B) are connected with the coupling.
3. Subtract 978mm (38.5in) from DIM1 in step 1 to get the total
overall length of the shaft.
4. Now subtract 6.3 mm (.25 inch) more to get the total combined
cut length of sections (A) and (B). Note that the coupling will
add 6.3mm (.25 inch) to the shaft length after the two sections
are assembled.
5. Divide the total cut length in step 4 in half. Cut shaft (B) longer
than (A) as follows:
a. Add 3 inches to this half length and mark shaft A to this
length measuring from the 1.0 inch diameter end.
b. Subtract 3 inches from this half length and mark shaft B
to this length measuring from the 1.06 inch diameter
end.
