TOWVEYOR CART DESIGN

TOWVEYOR CART DESIGN

TOWVEYOR CART DESIGN

(OP)
I have been asked to design a self disengagement system for a tow cart on a towveyor line where tow cart pin is required to disengage from towveyor line everytime there is an impact. Any help or input in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

RE: TOWVEYOR CART DESIGN

Step 1 for any design project is to understand and quantify the problem.

RE: TOWVEYOR CART DESIGN

You'll have to differentiate between impact and the normally expected load from starting and stopping. I'm expecting a spring loaded ball system might be somewhere to start. Load on the spring could be adjustable.
