Desertfox,
Yes I am looking for the torque required to turn the object along with both top and bottom plates as one while the force is being applied. You are also correct in saying that I want the friction between the object and the top plate to turn the top plate. When I said undersized, I...
MintJulep, the plates are standard A-36 hot roll steel (probably not hard enough to withstand the deflection caused by the bearings). We are also within the load rating of the bearings so that is not a concern.
I have a sketch attached. We are bringing the top plate down to apply the compressive force. Whammet/Mintjulep, that is right around what I got and we undersized. We are going through our setup and making sure we are not binding anywhere but I just want to check my numbers. Desertfox, any...
Hi,
I am trying to figure out how much torque we need to spin a compressed object. I am applying 6000 pounds of compression force to an object between 2 plattens. In between the plattens we have 2 round plates supported by 8 crowned cam follower bearings per side. The manufacturer of the...
