    Peak torque of Cap Start vs Cap Start/Cap Run single phase induction motors

    My query is around the relative torque output of Capacitor Start (CS) and Cap Start/Cap Run (CSCR) induction motors, especially when they are loaded up to the point where they will stall. My investigation to date turns up the graph at the top of the attachment to illustrate torque vs motor rpm...

    Calculating bandsaw blade tension from deflection

    Hi guys I’m trying to work out the mechanics of ‘tension measurement by deflection’ in a bandsaw blade. The bandsaw has wheels spaced 20.57” apart and a 'properly tensioned’ blade takes 27.3lb ±0.5lb to deflect ½” in the middle of its span measured with a cheap digital airport luggage weigh...

    Bandsaw blade and its failure mode

    Hi all. My question relates to a bandsaw blade and its failure mode. Its a 1/2" wide x 0.025" thick blade, tensioned to a given stress level (30,000psi (about 250-300lbwt on the cross section left once teeth are ground in) for a bimetal blade or 20,000psi for a carbon steel FlexBack blade). The...
