    Force on gear tooth calculation based on HP and RPM

    I've recently been learning about gear design. I can calculate the strength of my gear tooth using formula: F(max)=((Bending strength of material (N/mm2) * gear width (mm) * Lewis Factor)/diametral pitch (mm))*Barth speed factor where bending strength = tensile strength (N/mm2)/3 but I need...

    Selecting Annular Hydraulic Piston Seal

    Is there an established method for honing the inner and out walls of a small ring cylinder? Getting a traditional honing tool into the narrow space between the walls would be difficult.

    Selecting Annular Hydraulic Piston Seal

    Do the walls of the cylinder need to be honed or prepped in a certain way to ensure a good seal as the piston and seal move up and down in the cylinder?

    Selecting Annular Hydraulic Piston Seal

    I took a concentric slave cylinder apart and measured the seal. I recreated a CAD drawing of it (see image). It is a symmetrical seal with a grove on the bottom and flat on the top. The seal flares out on the sides I also found a cutaway view of a concentric slave cylinder and circled the...

    Selecting Annular Hydraulic Piston Seal

    I am looking for the proper type of seal for an annular hydraulic piston that might be used in a bolt tensioner or concentric clutch slave cylinder? I have seen that some bolt tensioners use piston o-ring seals in the inner and outer walls and concentric slave cylinders use a seal underneath...
