    Power Surge Protector 220V-60A

    All: I need to build/buy a power surge protector for a 220V-60A Double Oven. Or, Plan B, something inside the oven to protect the control/display circuit boards at a lower voltage/current rating. Background: My elderly mother lives alone in rural area prone to power failures. The last one...

    Relationship between aluminum hardness and strength?

    Gentlemen: Is there a useful relationship between the hardness of an aluminum alloy and its tensile strength? Is there a general rule of thumb that can be applied? If so, does this relationship apply only within an alloy series or across some or all series? Thanks.... Terry The more you...

    Brushed DC Motor w/PWM Control

    Gentlemen: This is not my field, but I have had to pick up some of the load.... I have a brushed DC gearmotor, 300 in-lb torque, with output of 8 RPM. If the speed is reduced thru a PWM controler to 1 RPM, will there be any torque left for the load? Any guess as to how much? Thanks in...

    What is the power/torque lost through a u-joint?

    Gentlemen: I have been through 20+ of my engineering books and a web search and I cannot find anything regarding torque or power loss through a u-joint. Also, I am trying to calculate the radial load for a bearing adjacent to the u-joint. Can anyone direct me to a source of info or provide...

    How to Tell 400 Series SST from CRS?

    Gentlemen: Is there a simple, shop based, test that can be used to distinguish martinsitic SST (400 series) from CRS/Drill Rod? Hopefully something on the order of grinding wheel sparks, etc... Thanks The more you know, the more you know you don't know....

    Estimate Residual Welding Stress in Column Weld

    Greetings Gentlemen: I hope you can point me in the right direction. I am trying to estimate the residual stress in a weld. I have a machine with a central column which is a 9 C 20.0 channel welded to a 1/2 in X 18 in SQ base plate. The base plate is welded to the end of the channel all...

    Blown MOSFET on motor control board

    Gentlemen: I am working on a project that has a proprietary motor control board that is used to control 6 DC motors on a medical device. During development and in the field there have been situations where the motors have been connected wrong, wired wrong, accidental shorts etc which has fried...

    Spotweld 304L SST to CRS?

    Gentlemen: One of several solutions to an electronics packaging design would involve spotwelding an SST housing to CRS internal brackets, shields, etc. None of my metallurgy books address this situation so I would presume it to be problematic. This design is for a medical device in an OR...

    HDD/CD/1.44 Adapter?

    Is there an adapter/cable available that I can use to test a drive outside of my computer; possibly through a USB port? Or is the only alternative to pull the cover and plug into the ribbon cable??

    How does 303 Stainless Become Magnetic?

    It is well known that 300 Series Stainless can become magnetic by cold working. What is the mechanism? How can a macro type operation affect what is a nuclear property? I can't find this in any of my metallurgy books...Thanks
