Oh Snap!

Did you know a 20" inch + SS generator shaft will twist as much as 180d when you apply 300,000 HP to the input?

Those are, I'm assuming grade 5 or lower bolts. How tight are you torquing them to? Are they being stretched past their limit on install and then failing from the load maybe?

Lol good to know. I wonder how a MMW drive would mix 400lbs of dough.

Yes. Possible....I assume that's how they broke before. This time doesn't appear to be the case.
