Hey all, I am trying to build a scotch yoke system with multiple sliders positioned along a single rocker arm. The issue that I am running into is finding a good way to elongate my electric solenoid shaft.
I can get a solenoid that will give me more than enough stroke length to rotate the cranks where I need them, but I would like to hook up multiple cranks to this system and have it span about a 1.5 foot length. Any suggestions on a reliable way to attach a longer shaft to the end of a linear solenoid would be greatly appreciated.
I have thought about adhesives, threading both components, and clamping the longer rod on, but I have no idea which will hold up to loads the best and take the least amount of effort.
Thanks
