I'm designing a part that needs to be as light as possible, but can take a whacking.
It is a "C" shaped part, about 25" diameter, 1-2" thick, and about 5" wide (radially across the "C"
.
I will be supporting it from one end of the "C", and it needs to be able to take a light whack (hit with a golf ball), and spring back.
I'm thinking a polyurethane foam overmolded onto a plastic spine. A foam like the stress balls we all have on our desks.
But is there another way? Where can I get data of all the different polyurethane foams. Any complications with overmolding it onto plastic?
Thanks,
