Does anyone have experience with installing torque arm gear reducers using a rigid bracket to restrain the rotation of the reducer instead of a threaded rod type torque arm? We have had to do this in several installations and are wondering about the reliability of this type of installation. I...
Where can I find a design procedure or calculation method on how to design a flange welded to a shaft that is then bolted to a an end plate of a machine? The loads are torsion, bending, tension, and shear looking along the shaft towards the flange. I am interested in the flange stresses and the...
What type of plate element would be best to model a flange supported on three sides that has a bearing mounted to it by eight bolt holes. This flange is part of a trough assembly and is welded to the trough on three sides.
I don't think you want a mass moment of inertia. You probably want the area moment of inertia. That's why the units are wrong. Area I is in^4 and mass Mom. of inertia is lb-in^2.
