I was thinking just a bit of flat spring steel that was then tensioned. This would have the give and float with the dough as you mentioned. At some point though the solution will not be great because you cannot get much of a range of tension with such a small diameter pin and a single point of contact. For greater tension range you need a strap that wraps the pin or a disc clutch with the disc clutch maybe being more practical for this application but then not flowing with the dough.

Nice! Maybe your "tension builder" might beneft from a spring between the nut and the L bracket, to improve stability on the friction setting

This is one of your best videos yet. Awesome and so satisfying!!

Alex, I know this series is a bit old, but if you would like to make a version 6 of this machine I have some suggestions. As Tony mentioned, that tension adjustment screw is a bit wobbly and could be improved by using a longer threaded collar with a more finely threaded screw pitch to reduce the tendency to both wobble and back off the tension unintentionally. Also, if you want to improve on your pedal controled sewing machine motor drive idea, might I suggest sourcing a motor from a commercial grade electric air compressor like those used in a mechanic's shop. They have more than enough power, are designed for heavy usage, and many are connected to the compressor via a belt drive pulley. The only tricky part would be connecting it to the control peddle since these motors are typically designed for single speed on/off style control systems rather than a variable speed controller. I have faith you can figure it out though.

@Hephera

having the screw directly impinge on the roller is a bad design which i dont think a finer thread would fix, it should be changed to be a flat lever that impinges on the roller and the angle of the lever and thus the amount of force it applies to the roller be adjusted by a screw

Wow, my man, this was truly impressive. You need to take this thing to market. I've got gear envy.

If you can send me the specs on the rollers, I have some industry contacts that I might be able to sweet talk into generating a quote on 1,000 rollers. The price of steel is rising. I don't know the dimensions but even a 3/8" body and 1/2" gears would be pricey. I could give the specs for a complete machine to a machinist after sourcing raw stock. Made in the USA sturdy enough to last a couple lifetimes nearly maintenance free. You're probably looking at $100-$150 per hour just for the machining. Count in the cost of a business being able to handle all of it at once, its going to be a job shop with razor thin margins. Maybe $800 per machine. You're probably better off getting dimensions from ToT or Alex and finding a CNC shop in your area and start hitting up scrap yards, you could probably end up only paying for a few hours shop time if you do your homework. I work fairly closely with a machinist, there's an undeniable art to their accuracy and precision. You could save a bit on machining by eliminating some of the form. Make sides with only 3 machined edges, eliminate countersunk screws, find rollers already on the market, find as much 'off the shelf' items as possible. Sorry for the wall of text. Probably a lot cheaper
