It was some time ago that I asked the question in this thread: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=143198&page=1
But it is what is the foundation of what has become this thread.
I might well report my findings. Just don't forget to breathe until then ...
Thanks a lot for the valid...
Sorry for the dalay.
Itsmoked, I don't know why, but I never came to think about that. Will check.
sreid, yes there are six phases. I chose to make the animation continous, and so it became a bit confusing to watch. I don't understand the part with amplifiers. Turning the windings on and off...
Hello all!
I have been thinking about making a linear motor. Several permanent magnets on a rail and a trolley with six anchors that is turned on and off in sequence.
(sorry if the gif is hogging all resources)
I have tried to draw this with a few different measurements. But I can't decide...
The internet is vast and I searched for :
cog, cogs, cogwheels, gear, spur, and a few others. Yet another set of Swedish words too.
As you may be able to figure out, I came up with nothing. Much to my surprise.
Yes I would like to buy the suggested book and more. I bet "Karlebo handbok"...
Qcad saves to dxf, but autocad won't recognise the format.
Lisp? I can't say, but I am willing to try.
Acad? I'll check it out. Got an address? I tried Google, but found everything but CAD forum.
External spur, yes
I suppose a professional gearmaker would know far batter than me how to make the teeth. It is not likely though that a pro gets to make these ones. Not even dead certain it is going to be made at all.
I guess I want to produce a image of an actual gear by your definition. It is the measurements...
I feel the need to design a module or two of a cogwheel.
While I have seen many a nice picture on the net, I haven't come across a good description of how to actually design a cog tooth.
My aim is a standard metrical spur cogwheel.
This problem has bested even "Karl Bjorks lilla gula"
Allright! UKpete, You have been a real help!
I think I have all my questions answered now (well, not by a longshot but I am covered).
I did find http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetism and similar sources of info on the web.
The thing about the magnets, I don't want them to be switched...
I happened to click away a little and here are a few candidates:
Vote?
Am I right in thinking thee are too much loss in the first, and not enough benefit in the last?
