Using STRONG Hubs and Cans

 

If you do not plan to use the hub as a propsaver, I recommend you only use 1 set screw.  Actually even if using it as a prop saver, it is recommended that the hub-can assembly be secured to the shaft with one screw and the other just inserted and tightened enough to keep from falling out.  The idea is to position the hub and hold it parallel to the shaft just as it was when soldered.  If it is supported on two screws it can wobble around and get loose.  The shaft should be pushed tight on one side.   Pre-soldered hub-can assemblies were soldered with the hub positioned by the setscrew.  The can should always be secured to the shaft using a setscrew or machine screw in that same hole.  That will provide a very true running can.

 

When soldering your own hub-can assemblies, snug the hub on the shaft using one setscrew hole.  Then solder the joint and always secure the can to the shaft using the same hole.   Leave the opposite hole empty or use it for a propsaver, but do not try to use it to secure the shaft.
