Sean,
What kind of hardware is used for your sliding components? Where might I be able to find something like them? Its for something else I'm working on. Thanks!

CLaNZeR the sliders are not sliding freely enough this is very important. let me know how it goes.


peace

p.s. will need to build this wheel myself too

If you are positioning your smot as per the drawings above, it is impossible to have this lift simply because your arms slide in or out but not up.

To give your smot position as shown in A the best chance, you would have to have the Arm A hanging on a swivel when extended.

Otherwise, if your system is as is try putting the smot like in B. The smot will be in the normal trajectory of the Arm A rotation aiding it to turn over.

Otherwise try like in C, my favorite. This smot position should push the Arm A back upwards while having the natural downward movement of the wheel helping to overcome friction. You may need a bigger smot.

In D, there are smaller smots in succession. This would keep the upwards push while in rotation.

Hi Tim

They are THK miniature slides and very accurate, I got them off ebay in america at a very good price as THK in the UK quoted ?58.00 each to buy

The guy on Ebay took ages to deliver and I thought I had been ripped off, but they did eventually turn up.

Regards

Sean.
