X. PHASING
When our
GO-E2
Drive Shafts are assembled, the inner yoke and the outer yoke are
put together in-line or "IN-PHASE". The proper orientation of one yoke to the other is
called "PHASING". A Drive Shaft that is "IN-PHASE" and has the correct operating
angles at the drive end of the shaft does not create torsional vibration. Drive Shafts that
are NOT "in-phase" will vibrate and potentially "bind-up". This will destroy your Drive
Shaft and potentially damage your Gear Motor. The easiest way to make sure your
Drive Shaft is in the correct phase is to mark the tube and yoke before disassembling so
that you can put it back together in its original orientation.
The inner shaft is square and the outer shaft, although circular on the exterior, has a
female square interior. This allows the inner shaft to be inserted into the outer shaft in
four separate orientations. Two of these orientations will be "out-of-phase", and two of
these orientations will be "IN-PHASE". The two "IN-PHASE" orientations will have the
two yoke joints in-line when assembled. See
Figure 4
. When replacing a Drive Shaft
component make sure the Drive Shaft is reassembled "IN-PHASE" before operating.
