I have updated the design, but am wondering if anyone has any resources for joining two halves of this circular design? This is my first time vacuum forming so any tips on joining are helpful!https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=cd505916-1b1c-4a36-be13-e504b591fa0d&file=Version_2.PNG
I am planning on thermo forming this half cylinder shape on a formech, and need advice on draft angles. I know male molds need a draft angle minimum of 3 degrees, is there a way I can keep this two cylinder halfs so that I can join them together afterwards that a draft angle wouldn't ruin...
I am not using the slip ring bearings as any sort of shaft alignment, I have two self aligning bearings on each end. I will be making another post regarding the mount shape soon as the slip ring is now sorted, thank you everyone.
Yes another suggestion I received was to add cross beams on the side of the box for support near the bearings. We would like to record the bow spinning, so at least one window is required. We did have another rig spin up, but I am unsure how fast it went. I was not present at the company during...
What if I did a combination of extruded aluminum frame and wood? I'm not sure how acrylic compares to wood price wise, but we are expecting catastrophic failure during testing, and I'm concerned how acrylic would take the impact compared to wood. The wood I am using is 3/4 inch thick, so I am...
1) It is a keyed rotary shaft going through the center. I had some extra stock in the shop from the last similar test rig we made for this company. I will consider other options though.
2) The slip ring is going to be used to give data directly from the bow, it will be fastened directly to it...
Thank you for your reply, I am trying to find what you mean by "flexible coupling". My greatest issue with mounting the slip ring on the outside was finding a way to rotate past the self aligning bearning. While I was working on this today I came up with this solution, what do you think? I put...
Hello, I am currently designing a test rig to test high speed carbon bows. I recently hit a snag when I was told to add a slip ring to the design. Anyone have any ideas or tips on how I should integrate this into the design? The slip rig has to withstand up to 4000rpm so I have selected the...
