Sorry, I left out needed information. The pre-load on the spring will be minimal, just so that it will not be loose, about 1MM. Expected life minimum 2 years. Thanks!!

There are two bearings, I may not be a bearing guy, but I know that much. Thanks for your input.

Being in Plastics, but not in the Bearing world. What would be the best material for a thrust plate? The stub shaft or axle passes through a Housed ball bearing and is spring loaded, having about 3/8"-1/2" travel and must have some minimum preload on the spring to hold the axle firmly as the...

That makes sense, I will make a block. Thank you!!!!! Dan B Plastic Services Group

Dear edreaux: Maybe you are using the feature "cavitiy", "circular pattern","linear pattern" , or "component pattern" in your model or assembly. These can be reflected in the drawings with respect to file size. Here is something you can try that will decrease file size. With all other parts...

The problem is self-intersection. You can convert the non-planer curve to a plane and use that as your path. Then use the non-planer composite curve as a guide curve. The outcome will be for-shortened dimensions in your profile. If this is a problem you can use a combinations of lofts and...
