To attach the free end of the U-joint:
1. Slide the end of the U-joint over the shaft (platform or J4 motor).
The fit will be fairly tight.
The hole in the side of the U-joint needs to line up with the hole in the shaft.
2. Screw an M6 x 20 dog point set screw (included) through the shaft, going through the
hole in the side of the U-joint, and into the blind hole on the opposite side of the U-joint.
The U-joint is not threaded.
Use Loctite 242, and tighten to 5 N-m (3.7 ft-lbf) of torque. The head of the set-screw
should be flush with the outer surface of the U-joint.
NOTE: The platform and J4 motor will need to be aligned after the ACE software
has been installed, and the robot has been powered-on.
