    aluminum surface pitting

    is there a chance that you old CNC has a worm tool holder. If so there will be radial play in the toolin bit may lead to some problems. But this type of problem, i always seen chatter never pitting.

    Wind tunnel instrumentation

    I agree with force guages reacting to moments and viceversa. Instead of using one force guage. I would use a full bridge setup instead of quarter bridge setup u have. This way u can eliminate moment if u r measuring force or force when measuring moment. Omega do sell half bridge (Two guages...

    Final Efficiency

    Lets say I have an Electric Gear Drive Motor. The electric motor is rated at 95% and the gear box is rated for 90% efficiency. I want to know the final efficiency of the Motor coupled with gearbox. I think the final efficiency wud be final efficiency = gear box efficiency * electric motor...

    Linear Motion and Control

    see if this helps. Have a leniar piston which pushes with a constant force and free slide on the back stroke. This way you can push 50lbs. For resisting use a damper (one way damper). you can adjust the damper such that u get 500lbs of resisting force with 1ft/s. but the damper works of...

    Solidworks Cosmos FLOWORKS help ?

    I have used Flowworks before and it worked well on windows xp. Except for minor glitches. But put computer was a 32bit, and was not quiet mean as yours. So my guess is the 64bit...but I am lost too.

    leaking seals

    I have a 1/4" seal seated onto a TGP 1/4"shaft. The seal is a double lip with a spring and is pressfit into a housing. we never had any problems with leaking. But this one assembly that has been assembled is leaking. One or two them, may be a bad piece. But all fifteen out of fifteen are...

    L10 life with respect to press fit

    do any one know how to take into consideration the pressfit issue when calculating L10 life. I have a situation where the pressfit of our bearings is causing negative clearance. i want to take into consideration this into my L10 life calculation. I am thinkin of pressfit causing a radial force...

    L10 life of a bearing

    is there anyway i can take into consideration manufacturing defects into calculating L10 life of a bearing. do any one know if there is any tabulated values of frictional losses in gear mesh. i hope i am not sounding stupid when i am asking this.

    Spur gear

    I am posed with a problem which i have no clue about. I am testing a gear transfer. The gears are all Spur at pressure angle of 20°. The gear oscilates back and forth in its axial direction, now if it was radial, that would have made sense to me. The gear is enclosed in a housing. It is...

    slope of a tangent

    take the derivative of the equation with repect to "x" and then plug in "x=2" with resultant equation. that should be your slope of the line.

    If Heat Rises, Why are Mountain Tops Cold?

    There is a pressure drop as your altitude increases. If there is a pressure drop there is a drop in temperature, have u ever noticed a compressor in a garage, the nozzle gets cold as u let the air out. Same principle applies here. And there is also radiation loss to the outer space. A...

    Nail Gun Testing Fixture, designing fixture and counter

    i would use cast iron if u want good vibration dampning, a ply wood encolsur shud work well...u can get fancy and even put a lexan window. as for as actuating, cam shud be more consistant and cheaper.

    This wheel is amazing!

    i am not a kid, but that thins is COOL!

    Maximum service temperature

    well its not any equipment. its a thermoset plastic polyurethane, and they defined the maximum service temperature, air to be 270°F.

    loctite,oil or anti-seize ?

    if you are concerned about the bolt coming loose cause of vibrations and irregular loads. i would consider a fine thread which do well in vibrating conditions. But there is a disadvantage to this as they do not high loads. Pre-loading the bolt shoud work well.

    slots or bolts for boxing up pressure vessel

    dont know much about this topic. but where the bolts were pre-loaded. slots are put for thermal expansion, but if your vessel is circular where the two vessels are comming together, i wonder y u need slots, as metal expands along its circumfrence, so theroetically the bolt circle shoud move...

    Maximum service temperature

    I am trying to make sense out of this. When a manufacturer says Maximum Service Temperature, Air is 270°F what does it exactly intending.
