Attach the Hub to Motor J1

Point the raised feature of the hub (HUB-545616) toward the motor, space the hub from the J1 base using the 3mm spacer.

Add Heat-Set Inserts to Plate J1

Plate J1 requires 6 M4 heat-set inserts. 4 of these go in the bottom of the plate for the stabilization set screws. 2 go in the top to mount the humerus to plate J1.

Add Set Screws and Nuts to Plate J1

These set screws stabilize plate J1 against the thrust bearing. The nuts must be in place to lock the position of the set screws in a later step. The nuts go on the bottom of plate J1.

Place Thrust Bearing in Base J1

The 40mm ID 60mm OD needle roller thrust bearing goes in J1 base (THRUST-40-60).

Attach Plate J1 to the Hub

Use #6x0.5" button head screws to attach plate J1 to the hub. Apply thread locker to the screws. Make sure the set screws do not touch the thrust bearing yet.

Tighten Plate J1 Set Screws

Lightly tighten the set screws in plate J1 to touch the thrust bearing. Overtightening will bend plate J1. Once the set screws are touching the thrust bearing, tighten the nuts against plate J1 to lock the set screws in place.
