The machinery I am responsible for is primarily German. This particular unit is of late 50's design, early 80's manufacture. I've been into a half-dozen of these and they're put together like an old Rolls-Royce - every machine is just a little bit different. Lots of hex socket caps and hand-drilled & reamed taper pins.
I have an eccentric (cam) located on a shaft with a 7 x 50mm taper pin, and a square-drive set screw. The square recess measures about 6mm. The major diameter of the screw (as best I can measure) looks to be 16mm. My search is not turning up a bit for this. Previous units I've worked on had a hex socket in this location. Before I purchase and grind down a 1/4" square, does anyone have any insight?
