Last updated 1 year ago

Blue Loctite (McMaster P/N ) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.

Step 6

The 1/4” ID x 5/8” OD bearing can be pressed into the Wheel Module Fork by hand. Only the Fork that aligns with the Wheel Module Drive Shaft needs a bearing. Once the bearing is in place, use the #10-32 x 1 3/4”L bolts to install both forks into the module.

If you ordered your Wheel Module Forks after 5/16/2023, make sure an updated Wheel Module Fork is used on the side with the 15T Bevel Gear. The updated Wheel Module Fork will have a pocket designed to fit a 1/4-20 Nut machined into the outside face.

Step 7

The Main Drive Shaft and corresponding gear should be installed before the 3D Printed Rotation Pulley. Use the #4-40 x 3/4”L bolts to install the 3D Printed Rotation Pulley.

The 3D Printed Rotation Pulley was updated to strengthen the part and allow for longer bolts. If your 3D Printed Rotation Pulley does not have a step at the bottom of the integrated spacers that nests in the 72T Main Rotation Gear, then install the pulley using #4-40 x 3/4"L bolts.

Do NOT overtighten the #4-40 bolts, as this will crush the 3d printed part.

Step 8

For the Flipped Belt and Flipped Gears Above configurations, the motors are installed using #10-32 x 1/2”L bolts.

The motor shaft length does not matter in the assembly of any of the Flipped Swerves.

Step 9

The magnet will come installed in the Sensor Shaft.

The Encoder Belt will be installed during this step. This can be done by placing it on the 3D Printed Sensor Pulley, and then sliding it onto the 3D Printed Rotation Pulley installed in Step 7.

For the Belt configuration, the excess 1/4” shoulder on the Sensor Shaft that extends past the Swerve X Bottom Plate can be cut off. However, doing so will prevent the Sensor Shaft from being reused in all other configurations.
