OK this is a splined pulley from the V2XT BP Series one machine 1991.
It's a taper lock bushing. This can be seen clearer from here.
As a few of you know, the ballscrew pulley ( servo shaft) and that pulley are not in align by say about 1/2" I can't just move that pulley out by 1/2" on the shaft because then the pulley will barely have any servo shaft in it. I was thinking servo shaft is 5/8" diameter and even has a key slot in it and threaded hole in end. How about I make an extension with a 3/32" wall thickness that has a bore 5/8" and use the lathe to broach a keyway in there. Then I can make that shaft as long as need be. Now the OD of this thing will be 13/16" or .8125".
A.)Would be a miracle if there was a replacement taper lock bushing that goes in that pulley instead of the existing one that accommodates 13/16" bore. B.) Any suggestions other than a taper lock bushing what could get that New shaft mounted to the splined pulley? C.) Maybe the pulley can be bored out for that intent and purpose if need be? D.) Wondering how I can chuck that thing up and not on the rims.
Thanks
