3.1.2. Upper Joint Fork¶
3.1.2.1. Step 1: Mount metal sheets on upper joint fork¶

Fig. 3.19 Press the four M2 brass inserts into the upper joint fork using pliers or a bench vise.

Fig. 3.20 Screw the two upper metal sheets on the sides with M2 screws.
3.1.2.2. Step 2: Mount the cable catching¶

Fig. 3.21 Press the M2 brass insert into the upper joint fork on the top side.

Fig. 3.22 Fix the cable catching mechanism with M2 screws.
3.1.2.3. Step 3: Mount the guiding pulley¶

Fig. 3.23 Place the pulley between the metal sheets. Push in the pulley axle (hinge pin 25x4 mm).

Fig. 3.24 If needed adjust the diameter of the holes of the metal sheets.

Fig. 3.25 Secure the axle on both sides with lock washers or locktite.
3.1.3. Lower Joint Fork¶
3.1.3.1. Step 4: Mount the metal sheets on the under joint fork¶

Fig. 3.26 Insert the M3 brass inserts (with heads) in the holes on the inside of the joint, and the M3 brass inserts (without heads) from the outer side.

Fig. 3.27 Insert the under metal sheets in the appropriate slots and fix them with M3 screws
3.1.3.2. Step 5: Mount the cable fixation pin¶

Fig. 3.28 Mount the cable fixation pin
- (if needed) adjust the diameter of the mounting holes for pin (hinge pin 45x6 mm)
- Mount the pin
- Secure the pin on both sides with the lock washers
- Clip on it the cable centring clip or glue in the pin
- Note: Bearings should not be in the under joint fork at this time
3.1.3.3. Step 6: Mount the guiding pulley¶

Fig. 3.29 Press the ball bearing into the pulley. Insert the axle pin in the ball bearing

Fig. 3.30 Mount the assembly in to the upper joint fork
3.1.3.4. Step 7: Assemble the joint axle (part 1)¶

Fig. 3.31 Mount joint axle side.

Fig. 3.32 Insert the joint axle through the upper and under joint forks. Mount the other large circlip on the other side of the joint axle
3.1.3.5. Step 8: Assemble the joint axle (part 2)¶

Fig. 3.33 Mount the other ball bearing. Mount the other small circlip. Glue the sensor magnet (use only a small drop of glue!). Note: the magnet can also be glued before mounting the joint axle.

Fig. 3.34 Optionally: Secure the joint axle with the countersunk M3 screw.
3.1.3.6. Step 9: Mount the side covers¶

- Assemble the sensor and SIM boards and the circular space in the larger side cover (glue the boards to the cover)
- Check that the red, blue and green cables are facing upwards and the other red cables are behind
- Screw the side covers on the under joint fork
3.1.3.7. Optional Step 10: Solder the cables on one of the SB connection boards¶
This step can be skipped if now SB connection boards are to be used.

Prepare cable tree on connector boards.
Cut on 15 cm length:
4 data wires 0,25 mm2
2 power wires highly flexible silicon 1,5 mm2
Connector side:

Pin colour code:
F1+ white
F1 - brown
F2 + yellow
F2 - green
3.1.3.8. Optional Step 11: Guide the cables through the joint and solder them to the other SB connection board¶
This step can be skipped if now SB connection boards are to be used.

Strip all cables until the SB-pocket.
Pull cables through the connector board and solder from top. Screw both connector boards to joint with four M1,6 screws.
Connector side:

Pin colour code:
F1+ white
F1 - brown
F2 + yellow
F2 - green
Tips:
- Put the joint in the position of the longest cable path!
- Avoid cable crossovers by connecting to board
