I have a component I want to have made domestically for a personal project and I have an existing version that was made overseas. That vendor has vanished just a few months after that. I believe the existing version was made by hard milling of 440C 55HRC. It's a small split cavity mold used...

Just ask the anchor supplier what their rating is for brick and mortar substrate. I suspect you won't find any anchor suppliers who will agree to that. Then put a proper foundation down.

I'll bet the ultrasonic inspection sounds like the screams of tortured souls

Another thought: I would be very careful to prevent bearing races walking. When a housing is stationary the outer races can be slight clearance fit without much risk of them moving around under load, since the internal and external loads tend to be a consistent direction. If the housing is...

B106.1 is a good method when loading is somewhat predictable. When loads are variable it can get conservative using worst-case loads but for a winch drum I wouldn't get leaner until I was really, really sure how it will hold up.

Really the only way I know how to assess this well is to perform an FEA-based contact analysis and incorporate the allowable assembly misalignment as well as deflections due to operating loads and thermal growth (if any). If you're in a particular industry I expect the individual design groups...

If your scope is only flanges, then you're going to be working with someone who is responsible for the piping and/for vessel design. Don't let them sucker you into responsibility to know the material grade that is suitable for *THEIR* application and environment.

Ironically, PMI guns have an internal library that do exactly this. I'm not aware of an off-line version of the same. Do you have a copy of ASTM standards? Standards like A-240 define a range of material grades and put them all in one table within the document. Assuming you have a rough idea...

In my experience, it's a site maintenance manager who managed to keep a badly designed (or overtly abused) machine in operation longer by welding together some fasteners. Then they apply that requirement to all machinery. Also in my experience, it's impossible to predict what will happen when...

Steve must have retired.

In my experience offering small machinery, the materials, degree of safety (ATEX rating), and coating/painting requirements are vastly more strict for offshore. Replacing machinery on a platform is understandably disruptive and expensive logistically so it's understandable. Whether or not...

This is a red flag to me. I'm not a building structural designer but I am a machinery designer and it's essential for every part of the system to have this kind of data. Our equipment applies large varying overhung loads to the mounting surface and it's not at a regular frequency. There needs...

It all comes down to the reasonably expected failure modes. In my industry, we have customers (and sales reps) who believe vibration can detect anything. It cannot. Would the torque sensor be expected to read back excess torque (jammed / seized drive)? Insufficient torque (broken coupling?)...

If Quick Change is permitted by your administrative settings, that's the solution I'd use. Set your released document revision from Released to Quick Change, make the change, return status to Released.
