I am working on a feed bar for an end press. My problem is I am not sure what would happen with the feed bar at ~160 SPM traveling 5.25" and returning. Max. linear acceleration is about 4 g's. Part of it (the feed bar) consists of a 1.00"x1.00" 7075-T6 Aluminum bar hanging ~12.5" free in the air horizontally. I am afraid, it could start whipping on me, but have no data to back that up. May be somebody here knows more about that.
