    Snap ring force

    Question to desertfox or anyone else who would like to answer: In desertfox's supplied equations, the only material property considered is the modulus of elasticity, which is constant for steel. Why isn't the tensile strength of the steel a factor? Wouldn't a higher strength steel make for a...

    Snap ring force

    The application is not actually for a snap ring, but the calculation should be useful. I'm trying to calculate the force required to close the seam gap on a pipe rolled from a flat plate.

    Snap ring force

    I am referring to constant cross section area. Do you have the formulas available to post them?

    Snap ring force

    How can I calculate the radial squeezing force of a snap ring or retaining ring? I've done some searching, but I can only find info on dimensions and thrust loads. Since it's a spring, I'm assuming there's a formula to calculate the force.

    How much force to hold down a steel sheet?

    I have a process where an uncoiled steel strip travels down a conveyor line. The strip width varies (30~80") as well as the thickness (.25~.625"). The strip has some natural waviness to it, so it does not always rest perfectly flat against the conveyor line. There is one point on the line...

    Simple hydraulic cylinder question

    I've got a fundamental hydraulics question that should be easy to answer. Is a given hydraulic cylinder able to apply more force while extending than while retracting? If so, is there a standard push/pull ratio?
