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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Hi there can anyone tell me the types of glues and release agents for carbon fibre to plastic please.

you can thank our european cousins for this , years ago I remember you had press fits, interference, running and sliding fits.. things used to be easier :P

why not upgrade to a 12.9 screw and nut? unbrako do these

possibly late but A clinch nit is a rivet with an inside thread or simply grind down the helicoil before you insert it buy a 1D and take off approx just over half the lenght from the non tanged side

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

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...

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...
