Drive System Part 6: Lower wheels

The correct size wheels (130mm) finally came in!

With these parts I am able to assemble the under wheels that the entire drive carriage rolls on inside the cheese.

Attaching to the connectors, I then use nuts (6mm) to keep the wheels in place, and then locking the end in with 6mm lock nuts.
Will need 4 of these total to connect the lower wheels, I may need to add additional to the outer top areas as well... we shall see.

Slipping the 130mm 6m bolt through the first

Sliding the wheel down the bolt (the wheels have a built in bearing assembly) locking first into place using the 6mm nut

Adding an additional nut, adding the wheel and running that through the other end.

Here is a good look of the nut pushing the wheel against the other connector.

Finally adding these to the carriage itself... and placing inside the cheese frame.



Placing the assembly inside the cheese was very tight.





Almost there... need to add the outer wheels and then run power through the drive motor to see how it runs.
