Our engineers are working on design a two part bearing which will act to support a top box and allow it to rotate and self locate by lifting up via the bearing and dropping down via the bearing. The box would weight about 70lbs and the bearing would have a diameter of approx. 4 inches
We have...
We have modeled a new drive thru design involving a torsion bar system to create a rigid internal frame to withstand wind loads etc and have run some internal FEA but would like a second option by someone who does this on a regular basisi to confirm our desing will work or to recommend some...
I am designing a rotating box which has a flat area and pivots on the top and bottom that aloow for the rotation and also leave the spacing for clearance above and belwo the box to the main frame.
One thing we have been trying to incorporate is a catch latch which will allow the end user to...
I am working on a drive thru design involving the use of acrlyic on internal panels which will be exposed to temperatures up to 70 degrees C.
I know acrylic will take the heat if expansion clearance is allowed for in a frame, but I don't know if less bowing will occur if thicker as apposed to...
I have a torsion bar we use in our product that now is 2"x2" with 3/16 wall in HSS, hollow tube.
We need to change this to 1.5"x3" with the same wall thickness. Everything else to remain the same.
Will this be a safe change from a torsional strenght point of view?
What chart figures could I...
