    1,200 degree F - FDA - Wear Rail

    I was starting to look at ceramics last night. I have no experience with them. I know they will handle the heat but do not know if there are FDA rated ceramics. I'll investigate today. Thanks for the help, Dan

    1,200 degree F - FDA - Wear Rail

    We tried a test yesterday afternoon but blew the circuit after 5 min. We are trying again today. I assumed 1,200 f as the elements are generating 1,500 to 1,600 f at 4" away.

    1,200 degree F - FDA - Wear Rail

    Good Morning, I have an FDA application. A heater element that reaches 1,600 deg f. located 4" above the a 303/304 Stainless Steel belt. I need a wear rail for the belt that won't melt. We are leaning toward a non-metalic component so we dont get micro-particles from metal on metal. Any...

    Bronze Sleeve Bearings

    Try Bostons BEAR-N-BRONZ Series. It is an SAE660 Cast Bronze Bearing that has saved me in som high shock applications.

    Torque to Belt Pull relationship?

    Hi Bill, The Drive Pulley is the one giving us problems. Yes it is the larger of the pulleys in the system. We are confident there is a welding problem that we are looking into with the manufacturer. I have a couple of engineers working on verifying the overall pulley design. That is where...

    Torque to Belt Pull relationship?

    dwt, Yes there are weld issues going on. I have information coming in from the feild from other units where there are stress fractures at the centerline of the weld about the diameter. We are also looking at the thickness of the hub. Basically we have been specifying the same pullies for...

    Torque to Belt Pull relationship?

    Thanks Dave, We have pulleys being analyzed at the University of Iowa's metalurgy deopartment now. My boss asked for the formula. He's in meetings with the President, Purchasing Manager, and Quality Control. (Notice the absence of an engineer in that group?) I can formula the belt pull for...

    Torque to Belt Pull relationship?

    We have drive pulleys failing in the feild where the hub of the pulley is welded to the shaft. I have been asked for a formula for a relationship between Torque on a shaft and belt pull. Is the torque the difference between the tension side and slack side times the radius? This sounds to...
