Configurations

This section covers all possible configurations for the WCP Elevator Blocks, including different spacing options, choices between cam follower or bearing setups, and integration with tube plugs. By reviewing these options, teams can select the configuration that best meets their design goals.

Elevator Corner Bearing Block with Tube Plug

Overlap Spacing

Cam Follower

The two configurations of the WCP Elevator Block Spacer determine the amount of overlap between the Cam Follower and the vertical tubes of each elevator stage. This is shown in the images below, with the vertical tube represented in Blue.

Long Spacer

Short Spacer

Shoulder Bolt

The WCP Elevator Block is also compatible with Shoulder Bolts, using either a single or dual bearing stack-up configuration. Allowing teams to adjust the amount of overlap between the bearings and the vertical tubes of each elevator stage. This is shown in the images below, with the vertical tube represented in Blue.

The spacers shown below are not included with the elevator block but can be downloaded separately using the link below.
