Hi all my name is Kevin and I am from central Texas and have been machining for about 10 years for myself. My regular day job is working on cars and I do enjoy it.
Here is a project that I have been making recently for some friends that own planes. These are for the front seats and allow the seats to move rearward and forward. The rollers are enclosed in a square tube that has a slot cut out in the top which is where the seat frame connects to the axle. The factory design is two plastic rollers and a axle with a hole drilled thru and no way of attaching the rollers to the axle. Most people use dental floss thru the hole to hold rollers in place while installing them but it is not a fool proof design. I came up with this design on my own and it works very well.
The axle is steel I believe a 1200 series steel. Can't recall at the moment and the aluminum is 6013. I use a standard 1/4 inch e-clip to secure the rollers onto the axle.
