how to attach the driven on a torque convert to a jackshaft?

[bajagokart]

ya im talking side to side movement, "one on either side of the driven, one on the inside of each bearing, and one on either side of the sprocket"

Sprockets have set screws, don't need collars there.

If it's pillow block bearings your using they normally have built in set screws too.

i thought sprockets had keyway? the kit i bought has keyed sprockets, and the driven is keyed also, so dont you have to put collars on both sides of them? im sooo confused

most are 5/8" and keyed. to keep it from moving back and forth you need to use whatever your shaft calls for. It can be a c clip or wrist pin. usually its not a bolt unless yours has been homemade. If theres no holes or slots use a lock collar

its a 3/4" and it comes with one 3/4" collar so im guessing that is what i would use?
heres the link to the jackshaft kit i bought.

The key is there to transfer the torque between the shaft and the sprocket. The set screw keeps it from moving around. They almost always have both.

so all i have to do is put the collar on and set the screw down into the keyway?

I use shaft collars on my powerwheels setup. Kinda wanting to get the split ones. Perhaps use a dremel to countersink the shaft for the set screws to limit side movement. I have a long 20 inch jackshaft on pillow block bearings.
