Thanks a lot, Ted. Once I finished my calculation and input the information correctly, my result was to place the end of the plate at the same location as the CG of the milling head assembly. I think I did something wrong since your solution makes sense. Hmm. I wonder where I screwed up.
I...
Mike,
Valid point. I wanted to find the equilibrium point and from there add a safety factor due to the elements you've described. One reason I wanted to do the calculation was simply to practice something I learned in college and haven't used in awhile. Referring to textbooks was essentially...
There isn't another trunnion in line. This is just a fixture to check runout on the cutting head inserts.
I just calculated the length of the baseplate needed and I came up with 6.6" to reach equilibrium. The total length from the back edge of the trunnion to the front of the milling head is...
Good afternoon all,
I have been fighting with a statics problem and am hoping someone can help me figure it out. The problem is shown in the attached picture.
I am trying to determine the length of the base plate required to prevent the entire assembly from tipping over due to the cantilever...
