Hi rb1957
Here are some clarifications
1 - The table will tip over around the line tangent between two glides.
This is the pivot line or the fulcrum.
This is the point A shown in the sketch.
The distance from this line to the center of the table is X.
2 - The total weight of the table G...
Hello rb1957 and IRstuff
There are two ways to calculate this stability case.
They both and in the same equation where the height is not a factor in the equations.
Please see the attachment.
From all the discussions today I may come to the conclusion that the test was not performed in the same...
Hi RB1957
The weight of the table without the weight is G, and it acts along the table center line.
The weight is located at the distance R from the Table center line.
The distance X is the fulcrum which is a tangent line between two glides.
When the moment that the table provides (G * X) is...
Stability test
Thanks everybody.
This is a simple static case, no moving parts and the table is horizontal.
From the equations that I used the height is not a factor.
As for test results, I get tip over or not, no numbers.
Please your comments.
Thnx

Hi everybody,
I designed a single post table consists of the following:
1 - Base plate with 4 glides.
2 - Post connected rigidly to the base plate with connection plate at the top.
3 - Table top plate (round).
This table is tested for stability by placing a weight off center.
The weight...
