lifter broken down have a look
This is for those trying to build a lifter. I had to buy one so i could see how they are made.Note: speed of turn is approx. 60 Rpm
The red arrow indicates approx. where the incoming ball meets the sprocket any higher and the ball tends to just bounce off the teeth rather engage and make the trip around.
The Yellow arrow is a small finger that reaches down into a grove cut in the center of the sprocket, thereby forcing the ball up the lift track rather than continuing around on the sprocket.you can see in the2nd pic, the finger extending into the gear on the right.THIS IS ESSENTIAL.
I anyone needs picks of anything else please let me know.
