ETS-Lindgren 2165 Turntable - Manual (Page 28)

28 | Optional Shaft Kit Installation Instructions
Make sure to measure and mark each section from the small end, not the plain
end. The length of section A (on the turntable side) should be at least 150 mm
(6 in) longer than section B (on the motor side).
6. Place the shaft sections side by side to double check the length from
small end to small end. Offset the cut marks 6.35 mm (0.25 in) for the
coupling. If the length is accurate, cut the shaft pieces to length at the
marks.
7. De-burr the cut ends before installing them in the coupling.
8. Install the plain end of each shaft into the coupling all the way to the
step. The total overall length should be close to the length calculated in
step 3.
Cut Shaft Housing
9. Cut the shaft housing(s) next:
• If
DIM1 in step 1 on page 27 was 3035 mm (9.9 ft) or less, then the
mid-floor support is not required. One housing is required. Continue
to step 10.
• If
DIM1 is more than 3035 mm (9.9 ft), then the mid-floor support is
required. Two housings are required. Continue to step 11.
10. Determine the total length of the shaft housing. One housing is required.
Subtract 4.75 inches from the overall length of the assembled shaft in
step 3 on page 27. Cut one of the two housings to this length, ±1/16 inch.
Discard the unused housing and mid-floor support, and skip to step 12.
11. Determine the total combined length of the two shaft housings. Two
housings are required with the mid-floor support. Subtract 5.75 in from
the overall length of the assembled shaft to get the combined length of
the housings. Cut each housing to one-half this length, ±1/16 inch. After
cutting the first housing, determine the required length for the second to
equal the total combined length.
12. The shaft housing pieces should now be ready to assemble. See
Assemble Drive Shaft on page 24.
