Insitu Vane Shear Equipment - Geonor vs Acker
- Thread starter HKBeaver
- Start date
HKBeaver,
The Acker set that we have does not have a thrust bearing guide for use with hollow-stem augers. We have had to make a custom thrust bearing guide to fit our CME augers. We used an old auger drive cap that had the hex driving rod sheared off and had a local shop modify that a bit to create a platform for the thrust bearing to sit securely on our auger flights.
The vane shapes are tapered, but the constants can be easily computed from ASTM D 2573.
