Mike; I like that idea. I had considered a similar idea using a regular hex head nut, but the possibility of rotation of the nut under load turned me against it - the square nut is superior. Any ideas on how to shut off the transverse rectangular core against the head of the axial .312 core on...
I agree. The price, at .30, is a challenge. Especially with my preference to avoid China.
I do believe that a four family MUD type insert mold will meet my needs provided (i) I have the end user assemble the thing (give them three parts, a nut, and the two plastic halves) (ii) fully automatic...
Thanks Dinjin,
True, the .377 section is a bit short for what I am doing. Acceptable for metal, but probably unacceptable for plastic.
To address your question; overall part length is a concern for us, and the jacking screw has features on it which can not go into the threaded area. Jacking...
Thanks for the replies!
I left quite a few unanswered questions in my original post. Thanks for bringing those to my attention.
Function: The end device (product) is meant to install and extract a bearing from a from a plastic housing, by jacking with a metal, hand turned, 5/16-18 screw. So...
Greetings,
I am seeking information on the strength of threads in various plastics.
The image below shows my part. It shows a threaded zone: 5/16-18, the length of which is .377". It needs to withstand repeated, non-shock (gradually applied) loads in excess of 100 lbs in both directions...
Thanks for the comments!
My original image above shows a molded/cast part with attendant draft and annular shelling to reduce cycle time and to reduce sinking.
But for actual part function - we need the simple geometry shown below, which is more suitable for screw machine ops.
Volume...
Greetings,
Below is an image of a part I am designing for manufacture.
My question for the group is, among Die cast, Injection Molding, and Screw machine, which method will yield the lowest part cost for this particular part?
Considerations:
---------------
(i) lot size: 5k to 50k
(i) The...
