The Toney foale software is good...it gives all the info you need from pivot forces wheel rates and spring calcs for front and rear
go to Tony foales Web site and download the users manual PDf the software itself was very cheap
I am an Engineer and can work all this stuff out from first...
Thanks
That was a very good answer So, if under accel ( throttle pinned ) I am about 30 to 50 % of aval wheel travel
Then with that set up I can have a look at the rising rate ,,,My local track is tight and twisty with only 2 big jumps with a g out before both ,,
So may need more of a rising...
Yes I have done that, I Have the Tony foale Soft ware ( very convienient )
I an trying to reduce the spring preload as much as possible while using the softest spring I can get away with
If I shorten the Linkage arm ( NOT) the swingarm ,,the swingarm altitude changes from -4.3 to -6.9 I...
As the suspension ( prolink honda) goes through its motions the swingarm goes through the arc of say -6 to 15 deg what effect does this angle have on traction
The wheel base effectively gets shorter, So the wieght would I assume tend towards the rear and the front would lift
If I made the...
oops sorry about that 37lb is still 16 kg!! and yes They would (the comments that is) look at even a slow rotating childs bike wheel even 5 grams out of balance has the thing hopping around ...
37 kg at 3800 on a 2 inch shaft !! ( I would watch through the window!! that would be fun!! sorry...
Just my 2 cents worth here 37 kg spinning at 3800 rpm would impose a wee bit of bearing load if it was unbalanced..
I would be looking at what others have mentioned and those bearing engineers or at least the ones I have spoken to really are helpfull ( it save me a wee bit of time )
Also it...
I may have used the wrong terms ! sorry , but I was refering to the balls used in cheap pushbike cup and cone steering head bearings
I muck around with an old Motorcycle that is now manufactured in india
While the manufactering is getting better some parts leave A LOT to be desired
Anyway...
No just the loose balls , the ones on cheap cup and cone races . do they follow any tolerancing code
The C value??
I was asked this question and the references I have dont mention and web sites dont either
Thanks for the reply
Stephen
Does anyone know what sort of tolerances are applied to loose ball bearing in their manufacture , and if they use a tolerancing nummering system
kind regard
Stephen
Hi there
I have no choice in the loads, Starting on them soon
The Geometry in the original set is all over the show( I think )
Lubrication it sits in an oil bath I will have the material specs tonite so can make a choice from there
Also Would it be better the helix angle of the worm gear...
Thanks for the replies
Sorry for the delay the computer has gremilins inside ..and was not loading drivers ,,
The set up of this bike is ,,,the Shaft is the worm gear ( sorry for the earlier post I didnt see the missing word )
and the worm is hardened single start with a lead of 4 deg...
Sorry all
this has been been bought up before I know it but cant find the thread I want to draw a helix both a spring and a worm gear, Now I know you add a lisp to acad ( 2000 ) but where when and how ,,,
Never had the need to use one till now
Sorry if this goes over old ground
Stephen
I have in front of me a worm set which is prone to stripping the gears on the worm gear ( machined into the shaft ) It is an oil pump drive from an old Enfield Motorcycle
The shaft is made of a soft steel and its teeth ( worm gear ) appear to be fly cut into the shaft along the axis to the...
