It suddenly comes to mind that the over center latch on the front of my tool box seems to clamp things down pretty tight. Can you put a series of those around the edges? Winkler

Hello everyone. I'll ask here too. Searching for compression connector and spring finger connector on the web returned surprisingly poor results. I would like a few manufacturer names of .050 pitch surface mount compression connectors that are able to withstand high vibration and shock...

Thanks, Kirk. Winkler

Have you considered the 1/4 turn locking action which secures the top and bottom of the door of a semi trailer? There isn't a great deal of design info that you've given but if you need to put the sixth side onto a rectangular box you could use the toggle clamps mentioned or a handle which...

Errata. I cited the wrong "d" in the equation. Torque = Force*MAJOR diameter/5 Thanks, Winkler

My copy of Mechanical Engineering Design by Shigley says Torque = Force*Pitch diameter/5. That's a generality regardless of size of bolt employed and indifferent to coarse or fine pitch. If you're trying to achieve a certain height setting, I would get out the height gage or long calipers...

Some other considerations: There are commercially available optical adjustment "stages" which have fine motion and very little free play in their design. If you can't use commercial hardware to move your magnet, you could consider joining together (or machining on a single shaft)...

Has anyone found a good reference for the design of thermoelectric coolers or know of a website for such guidance? Thanks, Winks
