Locking Aparatus For a Vertical Guided Head
Locking Aparatus For a Vertical Guided Head
(OP)
Hello everyone,
As it can be seen in the picture, we have a weighted head guided vertically by linear ball bearings, which is supposed fall down freely with the weight that it carries. We are using a crane to lift it but while it's already lifted sometimes we need to do some setting just under that head. Hence to be more secure, we are looking for an aparatus that we can use it between head and guided shaft to stop the head on any point of 3 meters guided shaft. Since we can not thread or do any kind of modifications on the shaft, we need a detachable tool which can be used and removed easily.
Have you got any tool in your mind or a suggestion to accomplish it?

Then, it's time to start your design again.
Safe operation and maintenance is not something you apply to a design as an afterthought.
