Hub stands aren't cheap
« on: December 31, 2024, 05:27:39 PM »
Designed this in fusion, will get a quote on getting it laser cut.

750 lb steel ball transfer each so 1,500 lb capacity per corner. I think there is diy weld together hub stand kit for $535 + shipping from turtle lab.

Next concept from scratch, shortened it and made it stout and tried to reduce weight, so more cut time in processing:

Third design from scratch.  This time I set the distance between the center of the hub to ground is 13" / 330 mm radius, a 26" diameter tire diameter proxy.  The transfer bearing contact point is set to the offset of my wheels at +45mm, and there are extra holes to set it to +25mm.  This reduced height while going to an 8" / 200mm bearing width making it more stable longitudinally, while I tried to keep it simpler to reduce cost by -$150 using sendcutsend.com to get a quick estimate.  Bolt patterns, for 5-lug: 105-115mm and 4-lug: 100-110mm. Center bore is 72.7mm to go with my Solstice wheels at 72.6mm, so I can use my hub spacers.
