How many links in the chain? (big and small chain)crossbreak said:a pic of the new style tensioner.
no, but there is only little clearance: 5mm I will add a downhill style roller chain guide to the lower path. also some thin plastic sheet between the chains to avoid touch when jumping down big drops / going through rough terrain. The clearance will become even smaller with the larger BPM motor which needs more distance to the bottom bracket. I'm not sure anymore if this will really work with the short 25mm BPM front motor shaft. I will try that. With the rear motor that has 35mm shaft, another 10mm of clearance could be added using more spacers.evb said:Does chain touch big sprocket when using rear small sprockets?
The one to the wheel has 124 links, the short one has 54. Maybe i shorten it to 52 links. This will change for the BPM to 128 links / 58 links.

How many teeth in the sprocket on the cranks?
jateureka said:Nice work.
Is the motor only attached to the bottom bracket now or does it also attach to the down tube?

:? this is actually the best example for a jackshaft drive? Isn't it? What do you want to do different? Plz make some drawing, so we dont have to explain for hoursI like it. I want to do something like this, only on the jack shaft of a mid drive.
crossbreak said:ok did some quick test using a torque wrench on the left side axle with some counternut. At ~120Nm the axle bend :x still the adapter looks the same, but this time it could not be pulled off by hand, had to use some help of a screw driver.

this is what all ask. It is like the 2013 bosch motor with built in 2.5 overdrive, I use 3.4 overdrive. You can barely feel the drag, just try it yourself. BUT the motor doesn't see any drag, there is no more freewheel that can fail or crappy and expensive freewheel cranks that bend. BUT what is superior to all other drives: I can push 3000W through the chain due speeding it up, freewheel cranks are limited to ~1200W if you want some reliability, my first freewheel cranks didnt last 600W (cyclone), that is why I developed this drive. Bosch does the same, some proof that it makes a lot of sense

In my motor is not the sensor, so I can not check.crossbreak said:interesting. i guess that the XOFOs torque sensor wont work anymore after conversion, what do you think?
SolarRay said:If the sensor measures the force between the cassette and the body, then it will not work.
I'd say that thermal transition between rotor, heat-bridge and housing are a thing´s to worry about. And the sink ability of the housing itself. Better get a nice heatsink on the outside, just like bob did. Think of copper when you did all this. Alloy is much cheaper, lightweight, more simple to buy etc etc.evb said:Does it make sense to make copper Heatbridge?
It's no problem to place heatsink and fan on the outside. I think maybe the heatbridge is bottleneck of this system.crossbreak said:Better get a nice heatsink on the outside
Good idea. I will use 2 bridges separately, for stator holder and for coils.crossbreak said:BTW There can be another path can be directly from the coils to the heatbridge.
fechter said:Silicone RTV is a pretty good heat conductor for filling the gap between the windings and the heat bridge. It will also prevent chafing of the wire insulation from vibration. A thin layer of silicone grease on one suface will prevent the parts from being permanently glued together.
evb said:Crossbreak, what do you think about way to replace stator holder by sets of washers?
hope so.. will add some temp sensor to see difference with and without the coil-heatbridgeevb said:Maybe existence of coil heatbridge will enough for remove heat from inside of motor?
evb said:How much more efficient to use alloy coil heatbridge than silicone RTV only?
I guess you suppose the stator holder is more efficient than coil heatbridge, but I don't realize why do you think so.crossbreak said:Bad thingevb said:Crossbreak, what do you think about way to replace stator holder by sets of washers?
