@3DDave Right, that's what I thought. I had been thinking that is too large for this application but if I could design something like that, that is aligned with the axis of the threaded rod, it may work.
Is anyone on this forum familiar with the equations for shear area/stripping strength of...
Thank you @3DDave!
By traditional shear, do you mean some way to twist it to failure or use a wire cutter? In this application, space is limited so I don't think a chuck to provide clamping force is viable. Is that what you were thinking or something else?
I've double checked all my work and...
I am designing a cutting device to cut a threaded wire (M1.4x0.3) via counter-torque (torque applied to a nut, causes the wire to fail in tension).
ISO 965-1 states that normal engagement length is 0.7 < l < 2mm and long engagement would be anything over 2mm. The current design for the cutter...
