Almost finished with the part ... OK , what this part is , it's a sleeve that goes on a motor that runs an oilless compressor . This sleeve needs to be press fit on the motor shaft as it transmits all the torque to the crankpin . The crankpin has a taper that fits into a half-dovetail cut into the sleeve , as the nut is tightened the dovetail locks the crankpin to the sleeve/shaft . I currently have it machined for a .0015 interference fit ~ .700" shaft diameter. The outside has to be a hand-press fit into a roller bearing and the crank plate that mates the shaft to the crankpin . NOW , the question is how much is this sleeve going to grow when we press it on ? Do I allow for that much growth , or less ? Once installed on the motor shaft it's going to be difficult to turn it down if I get it wrong ... and right now I have exactly the fit I want in the bearing .This would sure be easier if there were holes for centers drilled into the shaft -- Snag My gut tells me to take the OD down that thou-and-a-half ... |

You're probably wasting your time, and it'll throw another rod before you even get another 10 hours of run -time...**** poor design engineering. Been there done it. Still got an old tank to prove it. -- |

I agree the design leaves a lot to be desired . I also have an oilless on a wheeled 20 gal tank , and when it dies it goes - but I will keep the tank for additional storage for the shop compressor. -- Snag |

That's a very respectable press fit for a small diameter (an inch or less). Harold |

Could you have two sleeves? One sleeve that fits in the bearing of the motor and another sleeve that is a press fit on the shaft and connects to the crankpin? Or more simply can you make your sleeve with a little relief where the motor shaft is located? You probably have it all done by now. Hope it worked out well. Dan |
