Thanks everyone, appreciate the replies.
@SnTMan, not sure if it fits into a class, it's just a remote controlled lawn mower for large yards and only has to carry its own weight. One-way clutch won't work in my application but SP mower diffs would work well.
Will check out all the suggested...
I am in the process of designing a remote controlled lawn mower which utilizes only one engine to drive the wheels and the blade. In order to avoid having to design a steering mechanism, I want to use a differential and simply brake one side to make it turn that way. I am having trouble finding...
Thanks for the replies guys. I am in South Africa and the application is for a steel frame attachment for a motorcycle. I am using square tubes and flat bars for the construction, but am considering replacing the flat bars with small square tubes because of likelihood of twisting of the flat...
Hi
I need some help with calculating the maximum allowable bending stress for a mild steel flat bar (fy = 248MPa). Is there a method for calculating this or do I just use 0.66*fy? Does it matter whether bending is about minor or major axis?
Thanks

I need more adjustability than multiple pin holes could provide. the weight of the truck must be lifted off the ground by forcing the outriggers down.
I have good idea but still need a method to lock the outer tube in position once it has been dropped to the ground. then the forcing...
Thanks for the posts guys.
Here is a simple illustration of the outriggerhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=41e348b5-9bb4-4c56-b422-114868404d79&file=OUTRIG.jpg
Dan T,
infinitely adjustable would be preferred, but i could also make use of a good one position design.
On the outrigger itself there is no rotating machinery unless i use a screw jack to ensure weight is put on outrigger. the outrigger will be stabilizing a medium size crane truck.
Thanks
On an outrigger design, i need a good way to lock the leg, which slides up and down in an outer tube, which is welded onto the outrigger extension arm. I want to eliminate hydraulics and have it purely mechanical. the locking mechanism must be able to handle a maximum load of 18kN.
Thanks
