Is it time for someone to mention Shroedinger's cat? Don't all quantum discussions end up as arguments about that damn cat?

I believe the term is referring to hard-surfacing using a MIG process. Is it being applied to resist wear?

Taking another look at the drawing I see a notation that the input shaft is actually DRIVEN by a torque multiplier.

I've used http://www.phillystran.com/index.htm for larger Kevlar ropes. Not sure how small of an assembly they'll make, but it might be worth checking.

Torque is Force (lb) x distance (ft). Where you're getting confused is not understanding that the torque in the shaft/sprocket is the same everywhere in the shaft/sprocket. The tangential force is different depending on the perpendicular distance to the axis of rotation. Here's how the...

The unit as shown has a total reduction of 125:1, entirely due to the torque multiplier. As previously pointed out, gears of the same diameter do not change torque. To get the required input torque divide the desired output torque by the total gear ratio (125).

On careerbuilder.com I find 410 engineering jobs from the last 30 days using the search string "entry level electrical". Took me about 1 minute. I don't think H1B's and automation are your problem.

I've seen them shown as a check ahead of a connection, i.e. -O>-] [-<O-

Here's one I found, I can't tell you if it works or not... Belt length in feet = A x number of coils x 0.131 A = Diameter of coil in inches + Diameter of coil hole in inches

Looks like Enerpac has 200-ton and up cylinders with up to 48" stroke. http://www.enerpac.com/Main_Navigation/products/industrial_tools/home.htm Click on "General Purpose" under "Cylinders"

Bigger shafts isn't the answer. Get rid of the stress concentrations and you'll have it. It looks like your small shaft failures occured at the transition to the hex outside the gearbox. If that's true, there's no reason you can't make a smooth transition from the large diameter down to the...

Shaft failures 1, 2, and 3 (from left to right) are all due to stress concentration at the sharp transition between the diameters. The concave appearance of the shaft ends shows that the reduced diameter actually pulled material away from the shaft as it cracked. This is classic stress...

Another vote for Anvil top (or equivalent). Ever try rolling a tool box (filter cart, welder, torch rig, hand truck) over imbedded rails? Install the anvil top in strips to accomodate the gauge of the tracked equipment.

infomine.com. Good luck, I've got somebody in here peddling wear plate just about every week. Most of our business goes to the guy providing the best service (measuring, cutting, forming, etc) and best availability of plate.

No, EP oils should not be used with yellow metals. EP additives work by chemically reacting with the metal surfaces. This reaction is too aggressive for yellow metals, resulting in rapid corrosion.

miningman nailed it. It's Flygt, not Flyte, though.http://www.flygt.com

Sounds like we use our cameras about the same way. I've always had good success with Sony's. My current camera is a Sony Cybershot DSC-W5, 5.1 megapixel. I bought this one personally since the sorry cameras our IT department provides can't do clear macros. I see BestBuy has the current...

Looking at picture 6, which is the only picture that clearly shows the fracture face, it's clear that this is a fatigue failure. The "beach" marks evident in picture 6 leave no doubt that this part failed in operation. The end of the shaft finally breaking off during handling is largely...

infomine.com is a great resource for all things mining. You might also try contacting groups like COSMET, SME, and WMEA to do some presentations of your capabilities.

I'm having trouble finding out what code (ASME, AWS, SAE) applies to welding high pressure (6,000 psi) hydraulic tube assemblies. SAE J518 and ISO 6162 cover the flanges, but I haven't seen anything regarding weld requirements. Can someone point me in the right direction?
