A wheel bracket which uses a cam lock to hold everything in place. When the cam lock is parallel to the frame, the secondary plate is locked in place and the lock is secured by bolting it to the frame. To release, unscrew the bolt and rotate the cam lock upwards. The secondary plate, which is connected using a hinge to the main plate, will rotate and the whole bracket can be removed from the frame. This bracket is more suitable for a wheel assembly whereby the motor is not directly connected to the wheel shaft. Probably the motor can be perpendicular to the wheel shaft using bevel gears to transfer torque.
Ok, but it is required that the shaft, bearings, and motor are included. How would this work with these in place?
5 months agoAssembly with LifeTrac
5 months agoHi I have uploaded the bracket assembled to a LifeTrac 76 inch. The shaft and bearings can be easily fitted to the two plates as they follow the dimensions of the previous plate. As for the motor, I have placed an arbitrary one at the proposed location.
I have only changed the front-left wheel only due to lack of time. Sorry about that.
Great project by the way. Following it with great interest.
