Rotor to Shaft Connection
klsmurf:
Hi all,
My question is:
What do you all use when connecting a rotor to the shaft when doing a motor conversion or in my case a servo motor?
I've got a older AC servo with neo mags in it. The rpms are high, but I think I can still get it to charge a 12V battery. It has a 24mm shaft that is keyed.
For me, this is the next step in my hobby before building an axial machine. Thanks for any help.

Klsmurf: I've had good luck with the two piece taper type (forget official name) You get them for the
shaft size, and as you tighten the squeeze bolts, the inner is squeezed onto the shaft. Removal is by
jacking bolts.
In theory, if the fit was poor, or not enough squeeze was put on, they could slip, but on a conventional
HAWT, the blade assembly would only push on further, not fall off.
Only a thought, but I've had good luck with them in numerous applications w/ lots of vibrations etc.
Good luck
