Notes

  • Friction wheel with circumferential V-ridges and grooves (±1.5 mm about a Ø60 pitch line, 4 mm pitch, 67.38° included), 16 mm wide, Ø8 bore (grooves at z = 0, 4, 8, 12, 16): wedged into its mate, the grooves raise the grip of a plain friction wheel about 1/sin(half-angle) times.
  • Xem Studio design following Brown's figure; true size, no printing allowance (apply your own to the mating features).
