    Injection post processing? How is this made?

    I have an idea for a plastic product but not sure about the best way to produce it. The closest example I can find would be a plastic cable clamp https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HjnQ4wsFS5A/maxresdefault.jpg This would appear to be injection molded flat and then bent in a separate process to form the...

    Hi Tmoose, Cat5 network cable at avg OD of .20, Cat6 is closer to .25 In a couple early prototypes using 30 degree bends, when pulling multiple cables around a horizontal direction change, it was possible that one or more cables would be less taught than others and fall into the gap. This is...

    At what load will this bracket start to un-bend

    racookpe, I did a poor job of illustrating the clevis. I should have drawn a snap hook or shot a pic when I get to the shop this morning. I agree in that if the top ends cannot spread, they will be much stronger. the snap hook I am using will allow very little spread under load and in fact...

    At what load will this bracket start to un-bend

    .125” Mill Aluminum 5052 1T bend radius's I have put my entire weight on the assembly at 220 lbs (using 6063 T5 extruded) with no visible deformation. Just curious at what load they will unbend with the 5052 (without spring-back). Trying to decide between .125" 5052 or 12Ga CR steel. Corrosion...

    Best way to bend 5 x 2 x 0.188 rectangular steel tubing

    Bend will be made the "easy" way at a 14" radius to 45 degrees. I'm wondering if a simple press die would suffice or if I have to fab a rotary draw machine. I would appreiciate any advice to hopefully avoid wasting time going down the wrong path on my own. The piece will be used as part of a...
