    Effective length in anchor bolts embedded in concrete.

    I really meant one bolt diameter length. or plus 30mm in your case. This assumes the effective length penetrates into the head 15mm and into the concrete 15mm.

    Shear stress in a bolt

    I recommend getting your hands on or have your company buy you - Mechanical Engineering Design by Shingley. Shingley should be Shigley. I now that is what you meant.

    Effective length in anchor bolts embedded in concrete.

    Is it still common to add one bolt length to the effective length to account for 1/2 penetrations in nut and head? I have seen this is some standards. If so it would be as civilperson suggests except one bolt length would be added to the length.

    nonstandard Spline

    I think the standard 1 module would have a .50 addendum and .65 dedendum with the dedendum dependent on whether is is root bottom fit or side to side fit.

    nonstandard Spline

    You are going to need more input as to dimensionions over balls or pins. Is the spline an ivolute spline or straight sided? Module splines are often designed non standard is Europe and maybe also in Russia. I assume it is a 30 degree pressure angle spline. I think you are suggesting that it is...

    Meshing Dissimilar Pressure Angles

    I have a feeling that this 10.2 dp was actually 10.16dp making it a 2.5 Module Gear in its first or original design. Probably a round up error was made at some point in the translation.

    Meshing Dissimilar Pressure Angles

    Matt 51, If both members of the long and short addendum are modified by the same amount they still operate on the standard center distance and pressure angles. You are right if only one is modified or they are not modified by the same amount the operating pressure angles do change.

    Meshing Dissimilar Pressure Angles

    You can get the same result by using the 10.2 dp and 25 degree pressure angle for the pinion and use 50 percent long addendum design. If the base diameters have the same ratio as the number of teeth, they will operate, ie the base pitch is the same. You do not need to define the pinion as the...

    DIN 5480 Spline Tolerance

    I am surprised that there would not be a relationship to the general ISO tolerances based on the tooth thickness or space width. Our buddies across the pond do seem to be very standard oriented.

    What's the strength of the nut on a mild steel eye bolt?

    You are right. The nuts are designed so that the bolts fail first.

    Internal/external spline definition

    Mine shows Do equals N + .80/P but my Handbook is the 17th Edition.

    Inspecting a Spur Gear

    I am curious why you did not select a standard 48Dp instead of 50Dp. 48 or 64 are more common for fine pitch gears. Maybe that is the reason why your inspector is asking the question. Pins for the 48Dp system might be more readily available.

    Hertzian Contact Stress and Material Hardness

    From Wikipedia: Hertzian contact stress refers to the localized stresses that develop as two curved surfaces come in contact and deform slightly under the imposed loads. This amount of deformation is dependent on the elasticity of the the material in contact, i.e., its modulus of elasticity. It...

    Bolting

    Are you implying that you can buy these in grade 5 and 8 or 9 and use the standard clamping force. I do not think he is talking about socket head bolts in a counterbored hole. I thought c'sunk heads were only good for small clamping forces.
