I've finished the one-way clutch and Oldham-style coupling mentioned in my other recent posts.
The coupling will fit inside the inner race of a ball bearing, so the side load from the other half will go directly to the bearing, not to the shaft of the motor. That eliminated the need for installing a ball bearing on the other end of the motor.
I used a one-way clutch and hardened inner race from McMaster-Carr, and they're secured with Loctite 603 retainer. A locking plunger engages the holes in the clutch ring to prevent the shaft from rotating in reverse when the motor isn't running.
