Hi,
We have an application that requires easy threading of a 4"
1/2 13 bolt into a 4" long coupling nut.
My problem is that every time I read the GH specs I find on the web, I can't tell which way the extra .0005" goes and/or whether it's a tap or die that is being discussed.
We're looking...
it won't get productized.
Each serial channel was going to have it's own serial channel.
Yes, it's inelegant, but I wanted to avoid having to pick out a uC and get a development board. The choices are completely bewildering in their scope,
but I completely understand why you'd suggest the uC...
Hi,
I've got a timing application for a few sensor channels.
The circuit to monitor the event at each channel works fine, and I'm
thinking that if each channel could just send "some" data over the
serial lines, then a central PC could take care of all the
timestamping.
Is there a dirt simple...
Hi,
I've got hold of some samples of 65Mn stock (.050" thick) that seem
"almost" like stainless. I'm told in China it's considered a
cheap,tough steel good for a lot of applications requiring some
temper.
By this page http://www.castingsqd.com/products.htm it seems that 1065
is the closest...
Hello,
I apologize for not being too clear in my initial description.
The required internal complexity (keys, lips & webbing) is equivalent
to those utility knives. Since, the outside surface can't be stamped
in, this part would require at least two stampings,so I think the best
candidates...
Hi,
I'm designing a part with a size and complexity comparable to a
standard retractable utility knive. These knives seem to be diecast
from whitemetal (some alloy of Al,Zi,Mg) but my spec on surface
hardness is tougher than the samples I've tested.
This app is cost sensitive, and my reading...
I have been reviewing my original question and the
very thoughtful recommendations.
I went to the local hardware store today, and the shopkeeper
suggested Car Wax and/or boiled linseed oil.
I mentioned it was for indoor use, but I think I'm after a "farmer's almanac" approach that people...
Hello,
I have some carbon steel straps
(length=10" xsection: .06"x1.25")
that see some friction and some humidity (indoor environment).
Ideally, I'd like a wonder paint that is very tough, completely
rustproof and can't be scraped off, but that all seems mutually
exclusive. I could even see...
Folks,
I'm reading that people view the blowing agent (BA) as a "last measure" sort of thing;
Something you can't rely on in a design.
I guess I'm trying to tie my experience of the BA "magically" fixing a
design that "should have worked" back into the next rev.
Relating to this picture, Let...
Mike,
I really value the time anyone spends on this forum
answering my gimmes.
Analytically ( in solidworks) it's an extrusion,
but the total length is only 14"-and it's on a curve,
but the extrusion path radius is pretty large compared to
the x-section, so I strongly believe the sinking...
Absolute and vary thicknesses ?
At present, the worst case is this section

Hi,
I'm talking generic ABS, and probably with some blowing agent if I'm
reading the replies correctly: The extrusion has a left and right
side, so that the the same part mates into itself. When joined,
there's a rectangular hole in the middle. I'm trying to do this
without any slides- a...
Hi,
All the design rules I've read on injection mold design suggest
maintaining uniform thickness to avoid sinking.
On my first design, I toiled for hours to get a uniform thickness
(within %10) , the mold house was happy and the prototypes came back
with all sorts of sinking. So the mold...
