Tilt and Telescopic steering motor mount ideas

Hi,
I 'm so sorry to answer you so late…
support moteur 845.zip (266,2 Ko)

I note one thing that the high temperatures on last days cause warping on the universal clutch i had print with black PLA.
Now i try to print them with PTEG.

I hope my answer is not too late

Have a good day Michel

Thank you.
My plans changed as I will not be able to put that bracket around where steering wheel turns because of increased resistance and load on motor.

I am currently looking for options to mount my motor. I have more than one tractor to mount just like this. Any ideas?

This below is not stable enough and the zip tie to support it causes resistance.

Hi
i see on the second picture a mistake of alignment between the two gears they must be perfectly align
the fixation of your motor is too far that make flexibility.
I have a question

Does this colonn rotate or no?
If only the steering wheel rotate you can fix the motor with the piece i send you the STL maybe you will have to modifie diameter to fix them fermely.
I hope i was clear.

Have a good day

you cannot put a bearing ? on the colonne to attach the motor bracket and just make a finger to avoid rotation ?

Yes the column you pointed to rotates with whole steering wheel. That diameter is 1.5 inches. I modified your file and tried to think of ways to use it so it would slide freely. I think a bearing would be tough to do, sill learning fusion.

Is there any examples of a bearing being used someone can link here? I looked and can not find a steering wheel setup like this one I have.

Have a look in the steering mount file picture thread in the new holland section and you’ll see what i done. Basically used a wide pipe clamp and fixed that to a non moving part then got some flat plat shaped to fit the clamp, this might then get you away from the steering wheel a bit and give you a few more possibilities
This is the picture i found that inspired me

Thanks. Got me thinking. Since mine tilts and telescopes, and the center moves with steering wheel, would a bearing pillow block be sturdy enough to work? I would have to spacer it with washers away from steering wheel if I did.

why not to do some thing like this with half spacer and bigger bearing

I like the idea, did you draw that in fusion? I would need the split spacer to go around 1.5” shaft. What I’m thinking is I would need 2 bearing sets maybe to support the weight of the motor and to stabilize due to bearing width being narrow. I have a 62082rs which is 40mm id, 80mm od, 18mm width.
