I see nothing unique, the one from factory shaft, is cantilevered (no bearing on one end) They all keep breaking. (ALL! after so many hours) like a 100 hrs , and its a 4000.00 dollar fix.
I say just add one more bearing to support the end .
Simple.
I am Getting a lot of static about "rights sold" .
Turns out -
Some one else had this same idea 10 years ago to fix the problem.
So the guy that came up with this idea then says he sold the "rights" back to the original factory.....
I do not understand the term at all....
There is nothing on the part showing a PAT. number.
I do not know why a factory would buy "rights to a part they make just slightly modified .
There is nothing special about the part other then it is made wrong and the company will not fix it.
They seem to like to sell parts.....make bigger shafts they break too.....!
A cantilever shaft has to be manufactured like a car live axle, not just hardened bar stock, or they shear under load.
hope this all makes sense
