Hello,
I'm not sure if this is better suited to the mechanical or materials forums, but I'm way out of my league on the materials end and hope someone here has some experience with high-temp tensile testing of metal specimens (Inconel in this case.) I have to design a small furnace that can...
Thanks for the reply. This is for the same tabletop tensile tester on which you advised me several weeks ago. I found four different automotive right angle gearmotors with specs on robotcombat.com-- dirt cheap, lightweight, and compact. Looks like I'm going with a sunroof motor. Precision is no...
Hello,
I got a lot of good advice in response to my last question, so hopefully I can draw on someone's experience once again. I am looking for a DC gearmotor to drive an Acme lead screw. Due to space limitations, it cannot be colinear with the screw. I would prefer a right-angle DC gearmotor...
It does kind of butt heads with our budget (at this point I don't even know if this is doable at all), but it is a requirement-- we work with digital imaging, and need to track a viewing area centered about one point on the surface of the tensile specimen.
Thanks for the replies.
Budget is $3,000. Accuracy is not important. Force is probably no more than 5 lbs.
Are there any turnbuckles designed to be motor-driven, i.e. outside of the Home Depot variety? This sounds like the simplest solution, but after searching I'm not coming up with any good...
Hello,
I'm trying to find or build a small table-top tensile tester. Neither of the grips can be stationary-- both must move outward from a center point, i.e. driven by the same screw. It must also have load measurement. The specifications beyond this are not important, as it will serve as a...
