Hey Guys,
We have an auger that has a direct drive Hollow Shaft Mounted Gearbox. The whole gearbox and motor wobbles approx. 1/8" total. The Torque arm has a rubber bushing that came with the gearbox. My understanding is that hollow shaft mounted gearboxes will natrually wobble but the question is, Is there a rule of thumb on How much wobble is acceptable? it does have a large thrust bearing. Maybe the question is dependent on how much the thrust bearing can take?
