Hi,
I am looking at building a rotating boom arm, and realized that the core
of the assembly is basically what you get with a belt driven grinding
wheel arbor
(shaft with a couple of pillow block bearings and a nifty mounting
system). If I could find one of these, I can mount up a rotary table
to one
side, a flange to mount the boom to on the other, and be done. The
trouble is that I can't seem to find anybody that makes/sells these
anymore. I can
find 'em used, but figured a new one might work out better as I wouldn't
have to replace the bearings, etc.
Does anybody have a link to a manufacturer/vendor of these? Failing
that, how about a magic search term that would bring them up?
Or are they really a thing of the past in this OSHA driven world? :-/
Thanks in advance,
rkg
