Steering Subassembly Sanity Check
Hello!
I am designing a steering sub assembly for a roving robot. I am doing most of this from scratch and I wanted to make sure I am on the right track.
Basically I am fastening a 12mm shaft to an aluminum extrusion with shaft supports. The front fork and a steering gear slide onto the shaft and rotate freely. The steering gear is sitting on an aluminum spacers with thrust washers on either side. Does this seem feasible/appropriate for the application? Designing to bear the weight of a human (~200lbs).
Thanks in advance for any feedback!!!
