NOTE: STEPS WITH RED BORDERS ARE DIFFERENT WHEN BUILDING WITH ADDITIONAL STAGES. IF YOU INTEND TO CONSTRUCT A LIFT WITH STAGES BEYOND THE BASE KIT’S SINGLE STAGE, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THESE

Assembly

Step 1 : Beginning with one of the three small pulley plates (am-4635), attach the 6mm D-bore Nub (am-4311) via four 6-32, 3/8′ long screws (am-1562).

Step 2 : Place a second small pulley plate (am-4635) on the other side of the Nub. Between the two plates, place six aluminum spacers (am-1669) and hold them in place with six 1″ long 6-32 screws (am-1565).

1. am-1669 0.141ID 0.25OD 0.266 Long Aluminum Spacer

Step 3 : Place six more spacers (am-1669) on the other side of the first pulley plate (am-4635) on the exposed screws. Place the final pulley plate overtop, then secure with six 6-32 nuts (am-1419).

Step 4 : Set aside the completed pulley. Connect the NeveRest Orbital Mount Plate (am-4642) to the NeveRest Orbital Gearmotor (am-4610b) using four 5mm M3 screws (am-1443).

NOTE: AndyMark recommends the use of threadlocker (am-3171) when attaching these screws.

Step 5 : Fit the 1/2″ aluminum spacer (am-3720) over the motor shaft. Then place the assembled pulley from step 3 on the motor shaft, and tighten the nub setscrew to secure it.

  1. Set Screw

Step 6 : On both ends of a Pulley Mount (am-4838), use a single 35mm M3 screw (am-1671) to hold a V-Groove Bearing (am-4836) in the provided slot. Use an M3 nut (am-1023) to secure it in place.

NOTE: If you intend to add more stages, repeat this step for as many stages as you intend to add!

Step 7 : On one other Pulley Mount (am-4838), put a 35mm M3 screw (am-1671) through just one of the slots and secure it with an M3 nut (am-1023). The second Pulley Mount should match the image below.

Step 8 : Connect the SAR330 slide (am-4837) to the Pulley Mounts from steps 7 & 8 using two 5mm M3 screws (am-1668) each by moving the slider slightly to reveal the countersunk holes at either end as shown. One of these screws can only be accessed via a through-hole when fully extended. Ensure pulleys are all on the same side.

1. Through-Hole

NOTE: AndyMark recommends the use of threadlocker (am-3171) when attaching these screws.

Step 9 : Attach the final S3 tube (am-3594-128) to the bottom of the Pulley Mount with no bearings using two 1″ long 6-32 screws (am-1565).

Step 10 : Slide the spring (am-4835) and 0.266″ aluminum spacer (ann-1669) over a 1 and 1/4″ 6-32 bolt (am-1566) and slide the assembly through the S3 tube from Step 12. Secure with a 6-32 nut (am-1419).

Step 11 : Attach the 4×1 Angle Gussets (am-4839) to the 256mnn S3 tube (am-3594-256) using a single 1″ long 6-32 screw (am-1565) and 6-32 nut (am-1419).

Step 12 : Slide a V-groove bearing (am-4836) and 0.1875″ nylon spacer (am-1473) over a 35mm M3 screw (am-1671). Slide the screw through the assembled base and secure it with an M3 nut (am-1023). Be sure not to crush the nylon spacer.

Step 13 : Attach the longest 53 tube (am-3594-35A to the base created in step 6 by running seven 1″6-32 screws (am-1565) through the tube and two 90° gusset plates (am-3602) positioned on either side of the base. Secure with two 6-32 nuts (am-1419).

1. Default Configuration
2. Two-Stage Configuration

NOTE: If adding additional stages, shift the upright further away from the angle gusset by 2 holes for each additional stage.

Step 14 : Attach the completed slide assembly to the base assembly from step 8 using two 1″ 6-32 screws (am-1565) screwed into the threaded inserts in the first pulley mount as shown.

Step 15 : Attach the completed motor assembly from step 5 to the main assembly with three 1″6-32 screws (am-1565) and secure with 6-32 nuts (am-1419).

Step 16 : To attach the string to the Compact Linear Slide and complete it for use, follow the instructions at the video available via the QR code below.
