Hello,

Picked one of these up cheap as is. The motor runs smooth on it but the pulley
on the motor does not fit snug on the shaft, it seems like it picks up speed with friction if this makes any sense? Does this sound normal or should the pulley be tight on the motor shaft? I would think it should be tight but I have been wrong before.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I am not a cuemaker but was intrigued by your post. According to this the pulley should be a press-fit :

It looks to me like your motor shaft is scored by the pulley spinning. Perhaps the fix suggested in the above forum post might work for you. If it is quite loose you may want to add some "shafting beads" to your epoxy (24 hour of course :) ).

Good luck.

Thanks for taking the time to help Dave, I truly appreciate it.

You could get a thin sleeve to fit on shaft and then press pulley over sleeve.. You may need to bore the hole in the pulley out slightly to true it up. As it may be a little out of round from running loose.

This is a good solution but one needs to understand how tight the tolerances need to be for a proper interference fit.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_fit

"As an example, a 10 mm (0.394 in) shaft made of 303 stainless steel will form a tight fit with allowance of 3–10 µm (0.0001–0.0003 in). "

Speaking from experience it is really tough to get a good fit. I suspect the difficulty in getting a good interference fit is why the pulley/motor is like it is.

Dave <-- wishes he owned an HLV
