Here we have the motor and motor mount for the motor we used. The hole pattern is unique to each motor out on the market it seems, but the general shape of this mount should accommodate most all motors of this class as well as provide clearance for the sprocket. |
|
Here we have the barring mount for one side of the turret upper assembly. It consists of three pieces to incase the barring and hold it steady in the frame. The unique component of this is we used 1/8th” or .125 acrylic for the center retainer ring to prevent the barring from having too much lateral play. |
|
Here we have a fuzzy picture of the motor mounts holding the motor (front and rear) with the attached chain and sprockets. You can see the bolt we used to attach the lazy Susan to the upper part of the paintball turret was just short enough not to interfere with the chain… |
|
Here we have the barring sandwich that is created by the mounting that we made. The bearing is able to move freely but cannot wiggle. It is worth noting though that you will need to file the end of the axle rod to insure its smooth after cutting so that the constant motion wont scratch a possibly cut a hole through the mount. |
|
Here we have mounted the motor to the lid of the lower portion of the paintball turret. The screws need to be tightened into the top of the motor and still allow slight play so the drive wheel will be able to break free if the turrets rotation is stopped. |
|
Here we see the lazy Susan installed with the drive shaft next to it. We used a small scale model aircraft wheel we picked up at a local hobby shop as the drive wheel and a spring to tension the motors drive wheel. |
|
This shot is just to help paint the picture of the upper section of the turret. You can clearly see the motor mounts and drive sprocket freshly painted. |
