I would like to know how you connect arms to your motors.

This is amazing. No one has ever had to figure out a way to attach an arm to a motor.

Well I just had to do this so I will share how with you.

The motor in question has a post this is 9/16” round with a 1/8” hole drilled thru it. It is about 3/8” long. What I did was to find a threaded coupler just a little smaller and drilled it out to slip over the post, than drilled a 1/8 hole in the about the same location as the motor post.

Now it slips over the post and I past a metal rod in the 1/8” hole and now I can attach the arm with the bolt and some lock tight.

So any other ideas out there?

On some of my motors if there is a hole in the middle of the shaft,I run a bolt threw an arm and into the shaft.I have also used U bolts threw the arm and around the shaft.What are you trying to do and do you have photos of the motor shaft and the arm?I maybe able to give you a better Idea.
