    Oil Sling RIng

    Thanks for your reply electricpete Just to clarify, this particular sling ring has been added to the shaft only to protect the seals on the input shaft from the electric motor, that is sling oil away from the seals, not to throw oil up on rotating gears. I have seen applications where sling...

    Oil Sling RIng

    Dear Group, I need some help regarding sling ring design. I'm looking for some theory for the correct dimensioning of the geometric form of a sling ring in relation to protecting oil seals on the motor input shaft to a industrial gearbox. Does the sling really help in reducing the oil pressure...

    Accelerations experienced from driving over road debris

    Fair enough. Yes, your right it is for legal purposes that I have been envolved in this. I am however a mechanical engineer not automotive and therefore asked for references to physical pothole or curb tests in my first question. A reference to such a test is basically all I need. I have...

    Accelerations experienced from driving over road debris

    Thanks for you reply Greg. The question is perhaps too general (thought I was going to be red flagged there for a while) Like you say the wheel will roll over this obstacle with little change to the forward velocity or lateral movement. The wheel riding up over the debri will experience a...

    Accelerations experienced from driving over road debris

    I ’m looking into the situation where a vehicle has run over at speed (approx 60kmh) debris lying on the road with respect to accelerations the driver may experience. The worst scenario as I see it could be the driver has braked as hard as possible causing the vehicle to compress fully the...

    Exporting Step214 files from UG NX

    Thanks for your suggestion, it solves the problem. I have also experimented with several configurations within UG. I had success with generating a step214 file of an assembly if I chose "Existing part" under "Source specification method" instead of "select from...

    Exporting Step214 files from UG NX

    I'm exporting step214 files of assemblies from NX. When I read the step file in to NX again to check the step file I can see the parts included in the assembly have been renamed to "UNPARAMETERIZED_FEATURE". I believe it is possibly to maintain the original part names in the step...
