Hello All
I have some existing castings manufactured circa 1955 which drawings indicate are Meehanite Grade E. I'm fairly sure the castings were completed in England, by or through Ransomes & Rapier.
The modern Meehanite grades are completely different, and it is exceedingly difficult to find...
Hello all. I have not done a lot of gear design/assessment, however a project requires I check the capacity of some existing straight-cut spur gears - so here goes.
One set of gears is defined as "4/5 D.P. stub teeth". After some head scratching and research I gather this is a split-pitch...
Hi All, hoping for a little guidance here.
I am assessing a hydraulic gate which essentially comprises several 24"x7-1/2" horizontal I-Beams rivetted (it's old) to a 1/2" steel skin plate. Span is ~7 m, the ends are arranged such that its essentially simply supported. Hydraulic loading is such...
I am running Solidworks Simulation Professional 2023.
I am assessing a simple hydraulic gate which is subject to several different horizontal loads. The gate is supported on either side by a vertical line reaction (think of a plate simply supported at its outer edges). I want to find a way of...
Hello all
I have what I think is a basic question - here's hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I am plotting stress measured by strain gauges against position for a piece of equipment. The stress follows a typical hysteresis curve. For my analysis I need to add a mean stress...
Hi all
I am completing a design check for a lifting chain idler pulley. The client is wanting to move to a stainless steel chain which is of slightly different dimensions to the original chain. I am struggling to find design guidelines for the design of this type of pulley. I gather this...
I am currently working on a design for a stilling chamber (or more accurately a by-pass chamber) for a guided wave radar level sensor. I am wanting to use camlock fittings as they make dissembling and assembling so simple.
I am working on a 3D model however I am finding it impossible to find...
