I am looking at this damper on mcmaster (http://www.mcmaster.com/#6521k73/=rtyy6p) which has a maximum force of 100lbs. Does anyone know what this indicates? Does it require 100lbs. to move the rod? I am not sure how to quantify how much resistance the damper will provide. It has all the...
Looking for something off the shelf and easy. I just found these guys (http://store.easylift.com/) who seem to have dampers that are compressed in a relaxed state. I need about 7 inches of travel and it should be able to handle a 200 lb force.
I need a damper like the one here (http://www.mcmaster.com/#door-dampers/=rnsu4k) The problem is, I would like to find one that starts compressed and dampens when in tension. Does anyone know of an off the shelf product like this?
Tmoose, you are correct. The force is putting the u-joint in tension and will be oriented vertically but there should not be any side force since the u-joint and rotor will be concentric.
Mike, I am definitely on board with the rigid fixture idea but now I'm not certain how I could align the rotor to the stator and have it be repeatable. With only .020" to work with, it would be hard to use a guide (thin wall tube?) and I'm worried about the tolerance stack from the housing...

"Can you provide more details of your proposed assembly fixture? You mention that some "play" is needed in the mechanism for positioning the rotor. What type of "play" is needed? A single u-joint will only provide angular displacement about the apex of the u-joint axes. It will only be...
I need to drive a motor rotor down into a stator using a linear actuator but I have yet to get a good design for holding the rotor. I was thinking of having a lever arm extend out from the actuator and connecting a u-joint by tapping both ends of the joint. I need the rotor to have some play to...
I'm looking for a small self standing ruler like the one in this link.

It will be used as a target to view though a surveyors level to measure the height of a moving arm. I need something with...
