    centre of gravity, load and footprint

    I cant get a chance to return on this until after the weekend. for chicopee (Mechanical): sorry, as we all know this medium can at times be confusing or maybe it just me :) yes it is just me :) There is no overhead crane involved. The equipment is actually a telescopic column section with a...

    centre of gravity, load and footprint

    Thanks everyone. This is for 3DDave (Aerospace) The equipment does crane up and down so the Centre of gravity does fluctuate through using the equipment. What I am trying to do is extend the height range. So assuming no tipping (stability) with a load at the maximum height. If I increase...

    centre of gravity, load and footprint

    Sorry In talking stability here I am not talking about the shape size or strength here all this is all assumed. I am merely trying to convey to stop the unit from falling (or tipping) over due to its own defined footprint as we increase the height of centre of gravity by extending the load...

    centre of gravity, load and footprint

    Hi folks, unsure if this is the correct forum. We have a piece of equipment that accepts a load 158 kg max.. The equipment has a footprint area and a maximum height at which the load is placed upon. i.e. used in its accepted way the unit is stable. Question. If we were to move the weight...

    simple questions

    Hi there my apologies. It was for a camera carbon fibre tripod. After contacting the manufacturer they said they cut off the ofending part and reglued it again with loctite 480. A change of question but would anyone know a chemical that could weaken the bond with loctite 480. thanks c0rd0bes

    Connect stainless stell with aluminum profile

    to be fair it looks simple, I presume it is not motorised? you are simply rotating a balanced load at no speed Get the machinist to mill you a block for the bearing and turn a spigot to connect both. Also using aluminium and stainless steel together in un-ideal conditions can cause corrosion

    Pat I appreciate your input here its been most valuable. Thanks again c0rd0bes

    sound transfer

    yeah the rollers are encapsulated in the metal housing near the end, 3 off finely set, as they will stop the carbon fibre pole from turning about its centre as it is wound in and out, and if you set them too heavy you can hear them running from the microphone. When you say electrical noise what...

    Thanks pat, appreciated here is my drawing, my apologies I cant get to Autocad at the minute. --> >O< <-- --> side view of a steel screw with concave end (haha) > insert to the roller with the convex profile (delrin or brass) O side view of the roller Yeah i appreciate that delrin is a...

    sound transfer

    Hi all, my appologies if this is not the correct place for this. Can anyone help here. in regards bushing for a roller what would give the lowest sound transfer. Delrin or Brass with a concave profile running on 2 steel screws with a convex profile. Loading etc is not required here sound...

    thermal expansion on of materails on a &quot;sliding&quot; fit

    Thankyou gents you have gave me something to consider. I was emailed yesterday by one of the users who reported that it was used outside, wind and rain etc and all was fine. we are currently making a new insert so will adjust the tolerances based on the info given thanks again

    thermal expansion on of materails on a &quot;sliding&quot; fit

    meant to add to Desert fox - the bar (not shown in my sketch) can be removed and put in with the variant hot / cold mixes on every day temps.

    thermal expansion on of materails on a &quot;sliding&quot; fit

    Hi there to Desert fox - only normal temperature differences nothing extreeme in any way. it will be getting used outside in the wet to hydtools - well that is the multi million dollar question, I think yes, but getting someone to admit what they done. to oldhydroman - thats what i am keen...
