Peel Motor Assembly

This section will guide the reader on how to properly glue the worm-gear onto the shaft of a peel-motor to create peel-motor-asm.

Materials

worm-gears should have a consistent even spiral throughout. It is to make sure that the peel-gear teeth can move within the worm-gear grooves.

A beautiful worm-gear!

Nasty boy worm-gear!

run a peel-gear manually through the grooves of the worm-gear to confirm that in can run through without resistance.
Without applying glue, slide a worm gear onto the shaft of a peel motor.
- Worm gear should fully seat onto the shaft. If not, discard the worm gear.
With the worm gear still on the shaft, spin the peel motor in both directions.
- Peel motor should spin smoothly with minimal effort. No clicking or grinding should be heard.
Dispense a 1-2 drops of LOCTITE 435 to the end of shaft on peel-motor.

Start light with the glue because it can get messy
Use the tip of the dispenser to spread the glue around the motor shaft.
Slide the worm gear all the way onto the shaft of the peel motor.

Press ALL the way on. The print has a depth stop!
Place the peel motor assembly on its head in a slot of the foam from which the peel motor came to dry.
The assembly will need to dry for at least 3 hours before being installed in a feeder.
Once the assembly has dried, move it to the corresponding bin at a feeder assembly workstation.
