I am putting together a spur gear train to shift the axis of rotation several inches below the output shaft of a gearbox. The top gear is the pinion (20 teeth) then a 48-tooth idler, which is mounted on two flanged ball bearings to allow it to rotate freely on a fixed shaft, and finally another...
Hi all,
I am getting a major headache trying to calculate the COG of a part relative to a reference coordinate system in an assembly. I activate the part, go to mass props, uncheck default CSYS and select my reference. But when it performs the analysis, although it uses the origin of my...
I'm a bit confused here. Trying to determine if we can mount a gear to a shaft and if it will be able to withstand the torque load or if it will slip. I need to find the shear stress.
Two ways I can think about doing this:
1. F = T/r. Then calculate shear as F/contact area. Thus shear =...
