    Machining holes on a PCD

    Thanks to BillPSU and dgallup. I receive drawings all the time where the shaft manufacturers will do one of two things:- Add a general PCD, machine the holes to say 3mm below the final intended size and disregard the misalignment. When assembled, line bore to create a true, straight hole...

    Machining holes on a PCD

    Hello to anyone that's clicked this link! As indicated above, I have a question concerning the machining of holes on a PCD. To be more specific, holes in a shaft flange (big flange). The PCD of the holes (10 holes) is 900mm. Naturally there is a matching flange with the same number and PCD of...

    Calculating a push up load

    Apologies for not spotting the question further up..the bush is 6.63" in length... This is where I got to so far.. I calculated a circumferential stress in the bush based on the required expansion of 4 thou over the mean bush diameter From that I looked at calculating an interface pressure...

    Calculating a push up load

    Guys... apologies for the delay in adding to this thread...I kind of put the file to one side and hoped the problem would go away!!...it hasn't. I looked up Lame's equation which seems applicable for thick walled cylinders. I'd kind of concluded that I was dealing with a thin walled cylinder...

    Calculating a push up load

    Hi Mike, Yeah, most definitely a textbook problem. Without the textbooks and seemingly no answers to be found anywhere on google, I thought I may benefit from the experience of the guys on here. Hi Greg, Thanks, I have worked out the taper angle to be 1:40 on diameter. I'll have a look under...

    Calculating a push up load

    Hi Guys...I just registered on here after someone recommended the site to me. I need help with a calculation and as my name suggests, the ol' grey matter just aint doing it for me right now! Okay, I got a taper shaft which is 2.88" dia at the large end and 2.715" at the other. I've also got a...
