Construction:
The Timing Hub consists of two flanges and a
pair of drive bolts. Each flange is fabricated
from a steel hub and a Dupont Zytel mold. Standard
hubs are steel with a black oxide finish. The
Timing Hub may also be supplied with stainless
steel hubs for operation in hostile environments.
The steel hubs are machined to size with pockets
which accept the molded Zytel flanges. The Timing
Hub flanges with the holes located about the perimeter
are then secured together with the use of chrome
plated drive bolts.
Positional Accuracy:
Each Timing Hub is supplied with a reference
scale on the front hub providing easy location
of the unobstructed holes; i.e. hole #10 and the
other hole #10 are 180 degrees apart. By changing
the location of the drive bolts from the #10 holes
to the #9 holes, the rotational position of the
output is adjusted by 2/3 of 1 degree.
The largest possible error for each adjustment
is 1/2 of an increment, or 1/3 of 1 degree which
results in an average positional accuracy of 1/6
of 1 degree.
