By gut feel this sounds about right.
Just out of curiosity ... Steel disk 400mm diameter and 20mm thick has a volume of 2513 cm3 and at 7.8 g/cm3 density of steel, that's about 19 kg, and considering that those dimensions are ruff approximations and I know the centre of the disk isn't full...
When doing calculations in proper SI units, "g" has no business anywhere unless the force of gravity is actually involved in whatever you are interested in, which is not the case here.
Engaging what is effectively a dog clutch when there is a large difference in rotational speed between them, breaks stuff.
You're doing your calculations in imperial units, which are gibberish to me. I have no feel for whether that old-English imperial number is rational.
The inertia of the brake rotor is small compared to the inertia of the wheel and tire assembly. Reason: the tread of the tire has the full radius of the assembly contributing to the moment of inertia, and the sidewalls of the tire have most of it contributing. And at least on any of my vehicles...
Automotive/motorcycle engines and transmissions use steel fasteners threaded into aluminium everywhere. Thread inserts are only used for repair purposes but if you anticipate frequent dismantling, they may be a good idea. Thread sizes are commonly M6x1.0, M8x1.25, M10x1.25 (this appears to be...

Those of us who are being called upon as mind-readers (i.e. everyone except the original poster) has absolutely no clue what sort of "rotating equipment" the original poster is wishing to install "offshore" (?) versus "onshore".
The 9.9 horsepower Evinrude outboard motor - which contains...
... and what mass or volume flow rate or horsepower? And how long is it expected to remain in service?
Your inlet pressure in proper SI units is about 1 bar (1 atmosphere) and the discharge pressure around 8 bar ... nothing special. My 2 horsepower shop air compressor (ordinary piston and...
The rotor of an electric motor has a certain amount of rotational inertia, called the "moment of inertia" I. It's like a flywheel.
Accelerating (deceleration = negative acceleration) a flywheel to a certain rotational speed in a certain amount of time requires a certain amount of torque in the...
We haven't the faintest clue of the type of vehicle that the original poster is designing (possibly something off-road and thus not subject to requirements for all the nannies that a developed-world road vehicle has), nor where in the world it is destined to be used (possibly something outside...
The transmission may be "capable of" producing much more output torque than the motor and drive in question is, but if I understand the mechanical layout correctly, that full output torque is never "passing through" the motor and drive in question.
What it means is that if the motor seizes a...
Also note that your original question was basically "Can a compressor be designed without a crosshead" and given that the 2 horsepower 120 psi air compressor in my shop does not have one, the answer is "Yes".
You did not ask whether any and all compressors regardless of application no matter...
How about specifically identifying the application?
What's it compressing, what's the inlet and outlet pressure, what's the volume flow rate, give us a specific application?
My post referenced air compressors because that's what I've seen. Tugboat identified natural gas compressors and...
The innards of every reciprocating air compressor that I've seen, look like the innards of a normal piston engine except with a simpler cylinder head (check valves). Single acting piston with piston rings, a normal piston pin across the piston connecting the piston to a normal-looking connecting...
Have you studied the way those seals are normally applied? Are you planning a comparable production rate?
Presumably an end user is going to need to open this at some point. Do you have a plan for that?
Can this be done by making the part in two pieces with the heat seal applied to the top of...
None of the rest of us know the context of your installation, or even what it is that you are compressing, or supplying.
A unitised air compressor on a pallet with integrated controls, needing only connection to external power supply of the correct voltage and capacity and with a single pipe...
You are not going to get adequate threads in that.
It would sure help if you could get those of us who lack mind-reading capability, at least a little more than a hint of what you are trying to do, because perhaps this might rule out some of the many options that you have.

The question is whether your linear slides can absorb the moment load of the vertical applied force being off-center from the center of gravity of the load. If the cylinder is installed properly (with ball-jointed or otherwise pivoted/hinged connections) so that it cannot carry any of this...
So, you are now granting that there is going to be high-pressure fluid flow IN together with low-pressure fluid flow OUT?
Or is there still a black hole inside that is somehow gathering up and collecting all the inbound mass flow rate so that it never escapes, the black hole just keeps getting...
