[Lab] Coaxial shafts...

[Adrian]

Alex,

I want to independently rotate two or possibly three arms - like the hands
of a clock - and am looking for a "shaft within a shaft within a shaft"
assembly. Each arms is to be separately controlled by 360 degree servos (not
continuous rotation) or steppers. Right now, I am looking to see what's
available and so far I've drawn a blank. 

To your response, the Dremel only provides one shaft and I'm looking for
more. As for bearings, it would be a ball race or just cold-metal (brass on
brass). I am still looking for possible ideas.

 

Many thanks, 

 

... Adrian

Understand exactly.

But what  are the dimensions  and what speeds and torques ??  

 

Could you  use flex drives  such as For Dremel  of Canadian Tire have  a
cheepie  for $3.00    If You use these one must be sure to turn such that
the inner cable is tightened not unwound.

 

Last alternative is to build your own   when the question becomes:::
what of the inside bearing betweent the inner and outer shafts ?

Hello all,

I'm looking for a supplier of clock-like concentric shaft assemblies to use
for a large art display. 

Ideally, I'm looking for two independent shafts (one inside the other) on a
common axis to convey two rotary motions from one side of a baffle to the
other.

Hope that you get what I'm after. 

Any ideas please? 

Many thanks,
