Control Rod UHMW Guide Blocks

The UHMW guide blocks for the elevator control rod will squeak at the two extremes of the motion. The hole in the blocks are a straight bore. The control rod moves up and down slightly with the mounting pivot arm. Dan’s solution is to bevelthe bore slightly to allow the change in height of the control rod. The rod is still supported and no squeaking due to interference.
