Step 1-5
Vibra-TITE VC-3 Threadmate (Vibra-TITE) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.
Step 1
These bearings will be a light press fit and may be pressed in by hand or with an arbor press. The image below shows the side the bearings must be installed from for all configurations of the Telescope Gearbox.
If you plan on assembling the Gearbox with the Ratchet & Pawl, the hole marked in green in the image below must be tapped to 5/16-18. Otherwise, that hole can be left alone.
If you do not plan on assembling the Gearbox with either the Ratchet & Pawl or WCP Friction Brake, you may omit the 1/2” Hex ID x 1-1/8” OD Flanged Bearing boxed in blue in the image down below.
Step 2
The 1/2” ID x 1-1/8” OD Flanged Bearing will be a light press fit and may be pressed in by hand or with an arbor press. The image below shows the side the bearing must be installed from for all configurations of the Telescope Gearbox.
The Nutstrips used to mount the GreyT Telescope must be cut to 1-1/2” long and assembled in the orientation shown in the image below.
For the assembly of the Gearbox in the Flipped configuration, you may omit the Nutstrips and associated Bolts from this step.
Step 3
The 1/2” Rounded Hex ID x 1-1/8” OD Flanged Bearing will be a light press fit and may be pressed in by hand or with an arbor press. The image below shows the side the bearing must be installed from for all configurations of the Telescope Gearbox.
The Nutstrips used to mount the GreyT Telescope must be cut to 1-1/2” long and assembled in the orientation shown in the image below.
Just like in the previous step, the Nutstrips in this step are completely optional. For the assembly of the Gearbox in the Flipped configuration, you may omit the Nutstrips and associated Bolts from this step.
Step 4
The Kraken X60 Motor is installed using two #10-32 x 1/2”L bolts.
Step 5
Slide on all components in the order shown in the image below. If you plan on using a CTRE Mag Encoder on the Output Shaft, you must drill out the shaft and press in the 1/4” OD x 1/2” L Magnet.
If you do not plan on assembling the Gearbox with either the optional Friction Brake or Ratchet & Pawl, you may omit the parts boxed in blue in the image down below.
The 1/2" Hex Acetal Spacers will need to be printed, the files can be found below.
