IFRs,
So now as per suggested by "Drawoh" that its really difficult to weld C bracket plates by maintaining Zero clearance between arm and c beacket plates and additionally we are providing bushes between pin and arm so maintaining zero clearance between them.
So now as per your...
Chicopee,
Actually there is very less amount of motion of arm like 3-4 times in a year but it has to take high load rest of the time. Its an outrigger to the vehicle. And load is not acting(except self weight) while in motion, once it is extended outward then it takes load
So still there be...
drawoh,
Do you mean to say, even though there is no gap between arm and C bracket plates still the resisting moments will be opposed by pin only???
And yeah actually to avoid friction we have worked on it i.e.
The arm and pin is going to rotate together there is relative motion between them...
rb1957,
The same problem I am facing in free body diagram that "will pin oppose the moment created by load acting on arm or C brackets plates will oppose the same moment". As arm is precisely fit between the brackets with only manf clearance and also Pin and arm is connected by bushes even...
actually I m really worried about is C bracket welds dosent break or C bracket should not open up bcoz of high load applied at other end.
so how will be the forces in Lower plate and upper plate and how to go for it
Its all sustainability of C bracket
I am attaching a diagram with it....I hope it serves the purpoe intended.

Hi all,
Actully in my current project ,I want to rotate the arm about vertical axis i.e. in horizontal plane. But while rotating it has to carry high gravitational load at its other end. This load is giving vertical reactions in hinge C bracket ( in which pin and arm is fixed ), which I want to...
