I'm working on better figures, but there is going to be torque of approximately 450 foot-pounds at the centre of a system of 3 hinges that will transmit that torque from the outer component of the system to the inner component.
The axes of two of the hinges are tangent to a 4" (approx.) circle...
Greetings,
I have a project which will require some elements connected by hinges with (I think) fairly large loads in relation to the size of hinges I can use. Basically, two elements in structural aluminum (something suitable for machining) will be connected 3 pairs of smaller elements hinged...
Very interesting, thanks.
I think I need something designed for larger loads (to be safe, something more like 2000lbs), but even just seeing the designs is helpful.
As of this moment, I'd just like to know if anyone is making them as off the shelf parts, so that I can try some ideas I have without needing to have them fabricated.
There is no reason that all the roll resistance cannot come from one end of the vehicle... .
...at least in theory.
In theory, a car without any sort of rear suspension at all would resist all roll at the rear, while the fronts thus had to resist none of it (because in order to change the...
" While I understand what alanbaker is saying about the proportionally diminishing grip as weight is added, surely the axel with 500lbs will have more grip then the one with 300 regardless of the distribution from inside to outside ?"
Ah, but!
You must remember: the axle with more weight only...
TMcRally,
I think the factor you're missing from your understanding is that the coefficient of friction of rubber is not the same under all loads. The amount of friction a tire can generate doesn't go up precisely in proportion to increased vertical load; it goes up slightly less quickly with...
