Just out of curiosity.
Have you done a hardness check
on the A36 steel? I wonder if
it has been work hardened by
your heavy loads.
How wide are the wheels?
1/4 thick seems like an adequate
thickness. Have the cam follower
wheels embedded into the soft
steel? Are you certain that the
cams share...
I am with the tick.
The illustrations show
a groove that allows for the the
spline or thread to be fully cut
across that section of the part.
The chamfer is probably an
option to create less of a stress
raiser or to clear a radius on
the tool that cuts the groove.
Do you mean M16 x 30mm long bolts?
Increasing the space between centers
will increase the load on the bolts
unless as rd1957 points out that you
are increasing the pitch line or
moment radius of the bolts.
I happended across an e-mail from my
Sister in California that was addressing
HHO Weld Technology. Sounds too good to
be true. Any one using it?
Is it a hoax?
