I have a part that has an internal bore with a small hole at the bottom of the bore. I want the hole at the bottom to be geometrically concentric with the diameter of the bore, because the mating part locates off the bore and slides into the smaller hole. If the hole is too far off of the...
Does anyone know of a company that makes locking/friction fit ball joints for OEM applications? I need a ball-in-socket type joint, but instead of being free floating I would like it to either be lockable, or preferably, have enough friction to hold up a 1 lb load until moved by a human...
I'm having some trouble finding an off the shelf product that I would think would already exist.
I have a 1/2 HP, 120V pump that will be moving fluid from one tank to fill another, until a float switch in the filled tank cuts power. As a safety backup, I would like a product that will cut...
If I'm designing two surfaces to transmit power when connected to two other surfaces, what are the equations governing the sizes of those surfaces in terms of current carrying ability and proper spacing in between? I'm sure I can start by making sure that their cross sectional area if equivalent...
I have a really off-the-wall design for which I am researching various actuation methods. One thing I am looking for is a tube which could be pressurized and have the end expand axial approx. 0.080". The basic way to picture it would be a push-to-connect air tube, connected to pressure on one...
I'm working on an application involving ballscrews and I want to make sure my knowledge is up to snuff. I've been reading a lot about them, and I often see statements that say accuracy vs. repeatability requirements are often mis-understood, but don't provide a good context on why, and how you...
