Thanks for your input FACS! I don't have any of the material laying around to do this test, or else I would. Good call though. If I get desperate enough I might have to pony up and buy some stock and measure it that way.
You're not wrong handleman. I was exploring some other materials as well which is why I didn't want to bother them too much before I knew for sure I'd be using them as a supplier.
Thanks for the info on rubber @GregLocock! I'l have to store that one away for the next time i'm working with that material. Also I really appreciate the book link. It might have more info along the lines of what i am looking for.
I realize I forgot to mention the friction I am trying to...
I do not know of any ISO standard for this, but i would just measure the widest part of the shaft and use a standard shaft and hole fit call out as if it was just a normal round shaft. When making the drawings for both the shaft and mating part, instead of calling out a diameter with the fit...
Hi everyone,
I have a question that general physics doesn't seem to help with and I haven't been able to solve it by searching Google or this Forum.
I'm trying to figure out a more specific way to estimate frictional forces than what we all learned in school. I know we are all familiar with...
Thanks for your replay EdStainless!
I the reason for making it one part instead of a outer frame with flat stock underneath for the spring was to reduce part count and cutting operations. I figured since the one part already had to be machined I might as well make it the spring as well. The...
Hi All,
I could really use some help figuring out how to properly call out a flat spring I am designing. The spring is basically a 3" long x .125" thick strip with a relief section in the center that is about .0625" thick there and bent at about 15 degrees. I want to make this part out of...
