How to mount the Pitch motor:

 

   

 

The Pitch motor mount is a little tough to mount. Since it has to be mounted on the small area provided on the front of the bank cymbal, some more support bars need to be added. These bars need to be places diagonally to help stabilizing from both x , y axis  forces that applied on the pitch mount. 

Detailed AutoCAD plans for the Pitch motor mount can be found here:  joyriderpulley2Model1.pdf

In these plans I omitted showing the diagonal bars supports as some measuring must be done on the actual construction and its placement is depended on the balancing position of the internal cymbal to do not obstruct the motion of it if placed closer to the front.

 

     

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see in the photos the tensioning forces from the pulley tend to bend the motor axis so I added the caster mechanism as a freewheel support to counterbalance the applied forces.

 

        

   

 

These two small pulleys (with ball bearing) are usually used in large and heavy sliding garage doors.
