Dont get it completly yet. Where is the belt going through? Is the pully fixed to the reaction wheel? How? What is the green stuff around the inner ring of the pully? Why is the material not removed on both sides of the pully, will it not defelect to one side when pretension is applied (like a harmonic drive)? Why are there no side guards on the pully? Looking nice and shiny! Looking forward to your coming posts :)
Pulley is held to the reaction wheel with retaining compound (Loctite 648), the green stuff is retaining compound that squeezed out during assembly. Not worried about pulley deflection, belt tension isn't enough to appreciably squeeze the pulley. Just posted some new pictures that show more of the assembly.

DeleteI see now :). Also interesting bit for me, to constrain the belt the side guards are in the pretensioning wheels. Looking very nice. All the best!
