This is a very strong motor gearbox combination, but is difficult to connect to the non metric world. The PG Shaft to 1/2' with 1/8' Machine Key Adapter (am-0996) is a very poor way to do this. I tried the suggested assembly technique and had no success. I needed to file the metric side key of the brass part to make it fit at all. Both adapters eventially slid off the shafts when in use in a vertical application on our airship rotors.
