What is the best way to attach to a motor shaft? I was given a motor that has an awesome metal plate that uses a set screw to tightly attach to the shaft, but the best part is the the metal plate is perpendicular, as shown in this picture:
It's the perfect mount to use for projects, but I've searched around and never seen anything like this for sale, which makes me wonder if it was custom-made for this motor.
For my flying crank ghost, I used a u-bolt tightly attached to the shaft, as shown in this picture:
It works okay, but it's never really that secure.
There must be some kind of plate like the one in the first picture, but I don't even know how to Google for it, or to describe it to someone at a shop--"it's this metal plate, with a welded-on hollow piece that fits around a motor shaft and has a set screw to hold it tight to the shaft."
