Hi Tmoose,
My stud looks fairly similar to that, but with a much longer shoulder.
The material with 8mm of internal threads is 6061. The stud is 4130. This is why my preload is limited. The blind hole is longer than 8mm to allow tapping clearance, but the stud is constrained geometrically by...
Hi JHG, thanks for responding so fast!
The preload on the stud is entirely tension. External loads will be exclusively bending. I expect low-cycle external loads to cause stress in the stud that well exceed the pre-load. More typical cyclic loading will cause stress that is significantly less...
Hi everyone,
I've got a 9mm 4130 steel stud slip-fit into anodized 6061. I could only fit around 8mm of thread engagement, so my pre-load torque is limited to 10-12 N-m, around half of typical. I'm using 638 retaining compound on the shaft and threads to lock the stud in, but I want to know how...
