You're completely right on the W calculation. It wasn't setup as a formula! (Value matched actual part, not the 1" rod we're discussing.) Corrected it and my value matches yours. See below. Thanks for the catch.
Customer is the final customer, who initiated the contract to our company. There's...
I checked for any callout of restrained condition. Nothing like that in the general specification. Absent any sort of general specification, my interpretation is that it should be in the unconstrained condition. The customer explained that the runout condition is being controlled for...
This is an engineering drawing requirement. Turbine shaft, should be familiar to you. I didn't post the actual drawing/snippet for obvious reasons. I'm a supplier of the shaft.
I just reviewed the drawing and there isn't a callout for restraint condition or equivalent. They do have a general...
I've seen varying CMM machines for hanging & measuring crankshafts, but most top out around 4-5'. Technically would work in my example, but the parts we're working on are turbine shafts at 9ft. At least I haven't seen one with the capability.
Hanging and taking the vertical measurements would...
The deflection I calculate (screenshot below) for a 1" round, 5ft long at 54" datums (3" from either end), is a deflection of 0.147", so a significant amount and well out of tolerance to just ignore. That will be lessened slightly by the 3" cantilever on either end, but not near enough to...
I'm looking to measure the total runout of a very long shaft along the entire length. A 1" diameter shaft, 5' long, with datums 3" from each end, and a total runout requirement of .005".
The traditional method would be to put the datums on Vee-blocks and roll it then drag the dial indicator up...
