Mounting Example
The following mounting instructions for the two GreyT Telescope Configurations are just recommendations. If desired, the user can create their own custom mounting options to better conform to their overall robot architecture.
Blue Loctite (McMaster P/N 1004A12) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.

For this mounting example, you will need 2 Aluminum Nutstrips cut to 3”. For one of the nuststrips, drill out the two holes marked in green to #9.
For this mounting example, you will need 2 Aluminum Nutstrips cut to 3”. For one of the nuststrips, drill out the two holes marked in green to #9. Remove the two #10-32 x 3”L bolts indicated in the image below. Drill out the corresponding tapped holes on the Gearbox Plate clearance for #10-32 bolts. Install the nutstrips as shown in the image below using the indicated bolts.

Remove the two #10-32 x 3-1/2”L bolts indicated in the image below. Drill out the corresponding tapped holes on the Gearbox Plate clearance for #10-32 bolts. Install the nutstrips as shown in the image below using the indicated bolts.
For this mounting example, you will need 2 Aluminum Nutstrips cut to 3”. For one of the nuststrips, drill out the two holes marked in green to #9. Remove the two #10-32 x 4”L bolts indicated in the image below. Drill out the corresponding tapped holes on the Gearbox Plate clearance for #10-32 bolts. Install the nutstrips as shown in the image below using the indicated bolts.

This hole pattern is for the standard mounting style for the Non-Flipped GreyT Telescopes. The table below shows the dimensions that change between the different base tube sizes.
The hole patterns for the individual nutstrips will line up with the scores on the VersaFrame Tube. The distance between the holes will be the same as indicated in the previous section labeled Mounting Pattern. Drill the holes using a #9 drill bit.
Bolt the Flipped GreyT Telescope to the tubing using six #10-32 x 1-1/2"L bolts.

This hole pattern is for the standard mounting style of the Non-Flipped GreyT Telescopes. The table below shows the dimensions that change between the different base tube sizes. Unless otherwise specified, all other dimensions are the same across all Non-Flipped GreyT Telescopes.
The hole patterns for the individual nutstrips will line up with the scores on the VersaFrame Tube. The distance between the holes will be the same as indicated in the previous section labeled Mounting Pattern. Drill the holes using a #9 drill bit.
Bolt the Non-Flipped GreyT Telescope to the two tubes using four #10-32 x 1-1/2"L bolts.
The installation of the nutstrips is discussed in Step 3 of the Gearbox Assembly Instructions.
