This one is a bit off topic but when designing something I always remember what one of my Professors used to say:
"You can't make it lighter, stronger and cheaper - but you can pick two."
So here's the issue:
I am designing a swivel (1.9" dia OD of high strength 416 SS) the load will be retained by a 1/2" shoulder bolt that spans a .65" channel through the middle of the swivel end.
Issue: I am unable to find any guidelines on how close the bolt can be from the end of the swivel...
Thanks for Reading
I have a question on the stress analysis that has to do with a design that will be using a shoulder bolt. The bolts will be the primary loading points at either end of a vertically loaded swivel.
The mounting hole for the bolt will be called out at 0.3750" (+.0015/-.0010) as...
Thanks for replying to this thread EdDanzer..Since posting the thread I might have a solution...but to answer your questions:
Though I can't use the cable as a ground, I can use the swivel body as one of the conducting paths. The slip ring will have to continuously rotate but the maximum...
Hello and thanks for checking this forum ...We are designing a swivel for use in helicopter longline work, and are wanting to transfer an electrical signal through the rotary joint. Yes, there are a lot of slip rings out there on the market, but we have space constraints (OD 2", ID 1"...
Hello Members,
I have been searching in vain for a good site that would help calculate the pull out strengths on machined threads. Just wondering if anyone has a link or other reference material on the subject.
Thanks
Hello Members,
I am searching for a good site or reference material to help calculate the pull out strength on a threaded section that will be machined into a part. It will terminate in a Grade 8 Nut so I am not as concerned with the nut strength as I am with the machined section.
Thanks
