pivot for simulator

:hi: hello my name is christian, I'm making a simulator, this is the pivot that would like to use, but am not sure that is right, I could help with this issue, Greetings

Hi Christian, if you will work with that pivot, just add two tensors to not rotate.

hola estanislabo, gracias por la respuesta, veo que tu usas ese sistema de rotula, pero veo que tienes 2 barras para que no tenga rotacion, el problema es que mi armazon no tiene espacio para esas barras, existe otro sistema que no necesite esas barras?

estanislabo hello, thanks for the reply, I see that you are using this system of labels, but I see you have 2 sticks to have no rotation, the problem is that my frame has no room for these bars, there is another system that does not need these bars ?

crees que esta base de goma sirva sin las barras? :?

traduccion:

think this serves gum base without the bars? :?

el usuario bsft me recomendo abrir un topico sobre el tema, el me esta ayudando tambien a desarrollar mi simulador :clap:

BSFT user recommended me to open a topic on the subject, also helping me develop my simulator :clap:

de esta manera lo estoy construyendo y tengo poco espacio :no:

traduccion:

so I'm building and I have little space :no:

Ah, entiendo, entonces necesitás una cruceta, con esto eliminas los tensores ... algo así:

Podés usar alguna cruceta de dirección de auto ...
Saludos
De que parte sos ?

Ah, I understand, then you need a spider to eliminate this tensor ... something like this:

You can use a self address cross ...

Where are you from ?

I've been looking for a swivel mount like the one pictured, where did you find that?
I am using a cut down tailshaft, but would prefer a uni joint setup like that.
Cheers, David.

There are lots for sale on Ebay if you search for uni joint.

OK, thanks, I did a search, I can buy a second hand tail shaft cheaper and then I just have to cut it down.

Bsft - I bought one from KC Farm equipment. Not sure if they are only a brisbane company or if they have other stores.

but mine cost $90 brand new.. Have a look at it here : stowaways-3dof-project-t3713.html

Thanks for the info, I was hoping for something a bit cheaper, but as it is new, I should expect that sort of price.
I usually look for a 2nd hand tailshaft and get it for $20-$40, and it has two pivots on it. Just a matter of cutting and welding.
Anyway, thanks all for the help, now to go back to helping estanislaolopez.

Hi BSFT, my English is very bad, I hope you understand me ... steering shaft uni-joint, try to get second hand ...
Is sufficient to support the seat only

Regards

gracias por responde estanislabo, yo soy de venezuela, creo que la mejor solucion es la que recomiendan ustedes, asi mi silla no tendra rotacion , voy a buscar en mi pais una pieza de segunda mano :thbup:

thanks for responding estanislabo, I'm from Venezuela, I think the best solution is what you recommend, so rotation will not have my chair, I'll look in my country a piece of second hand :thbup:

This is the best option, as well, will eliminate the stabilished bars.

That’s a car tailshaft, I used one of those, I just cut down each end and welded a plate on. Mine was, however, a total height of 150mm, which may mean a re-design of the frame in question. I found a second hand tailshaft at a wrecking yard for $20.


Its no longer on this sim, but I am still using the same pivot.
