This question was never answered. Anyone on this forum have any guidance on ROPS material requirements, and the interpretation of ISO 3471?
This has been brought up before on eng-tips, but nobody really answered it. The requirement in ISO 3471 has a table of Charpy v-notch tests that are required on the material, but it's vague about which test is required. There are two columns for temps, and a variety of test article sizes, but...
I need to get about a 20:1 reduction in a timing belt drive. I've tentatively picked out the Gates HTD belt in 5mm pitch, and am building a rough prototype to test out some concepts for a customer. For the testbed, we are going to use 2 or 3 stages of belt drive so we can use simple, cheap...
I'm looking for recommendations (positive or negative) for a supplier of hydraulic stabilizer legs or stabilizer jacks. We have made them in-house for various applications, but would love to find a good source and quit rolling our own. Most of the projects I've run into where we need these are...
I design various kinds of engine-powered machinery, and one component I've been searching for is coolant hose elbows. What I'd like to find is someplace that has a catalog of standard 90 degree and 45 degree formed rubber elbows. The sizes we usually deal with are 1.50 through 3".

Customer's previous experience with another brand of 3-cylinder was pretty bad--lots of vibration problems.
I'm working with the engine "manufacturer" (actually importer) and one of the isolation-mount companies...
I'm working on a steering linkage for a triple-steering-axle truck. I have the geometry all figured out and am trying to work out the loads for the pitman arms, which are nearly the only parts that aren't off-the-shelf components.
Can anyone advise me on what the design loads on this kind of...
I use an excel spreadsheet to log my time on various projects. Basically I "clock in" and "clock out".
It seems there should be an easy way to insert the current time and date in a cell. I can use NOW() or something like that, but it updates it. What I need is more of a...
I have a number of torque charts from a variety of sources in my "Fasters" notebook. They generally agree on dry torque but most don't address torque values for lubricated bolts.
Does anyone have a nice clear chart that they use and trust?
What I'm after is just for general-purpose...
