Zeusfaber, the paler grey section at the top is the second screenshot but in the assembly in a section view. I'll have to adjust the dimensions as the vertical height is too large for this application, but I thought it worked for conveying a rough idea. Love the description of back-of-envelope...
EdStainless, is the drawing I just did somewhat picturing a segmented plug with a lower flange (lip)? I could replace the extruded metal plug portion with a rubber insert and create a flat plate with a through hole to allow room for the wires - allowing some give to the transducer and reducing...
I'll have to look into the simple way with checking the shear strength of the retaining ring. I tend to over complicate a design at first and then go through several iterations of making simpler and simpler - still learning how to make it simple from the start.
I think the fillet welding an...
LittleInch, yup! The critical areas you described are my concern and that is a retaining ring groove that the screw you drew is touching. If I were to do a threaded component to hold the transducer I would negate the retaining ring groove. I hadn't thought of spot welding as an option so thank...
Hi all, thank you for your responses!
tygerdawg, yup! But I would need extra material for the threads to have the pitch diameter required for a 15mm screw.
MintJulip, that would be great! Do you have a recommendation? I don't have enough exterior material for a 16MM screw.
BrianE22, yes...
So I have this odd size port for a transducer that is 0.5906in diameter. I need a way to keep the transducer in this port since it will be measuring considerable pressures: rated to 10k psi. I can get a retaining ring - but I was thinking I could also do something a little more robust like a...
