    ACME screw actuator failure analysis

    Sounds like you are neglecting on of the two loads here. I think that if I read it right, you have torsion from the motor torque and bending on the pin from the thrust load. Is this combined loading considered in your stress calcs? Regards Edson Campos

    Anyone else experiencing seemingly

    Yeah, Get it all the time. Have to wait for the computer to re-establish connection (2-5 sec.) Sometimes Solidworks cant find links. Had no idea that it could be this. Thanks For the info. Regards, Edson Campos

    Power Formula for 3phase 115v 400Hz

    Thank you for the responses. Now is (theta) 120 degrees and if not how do I find out what it is? Reagards, Edson Campos Edson Campos

    Power Formula for 3phase 115v 400Hz

    Power Formula for 3phase 115v 400Hz motor Y connection I think. Is it..... a) P=Sqrt(3)*E*I*cos(theta) b) P=3*E*I*cos(theta) Can anyone explain the difference? Regards, Edson Campos

    Helical Gear Planetaries

    Diamondjim, Let me ask this differently, I know that thrust exists on the gears between their respective meshes. The question is, since the arrangement is such that are three gears in contact (sun, Planet, Ring), are the thrust forces from sun-planet necessarily equal and opposite to the thrust...

    Helical Gear Planetaries

    Question 1. In a helical gear simple planetary arrangement, with the sun driving, and the arm output, is there a thrust on the individual planets or is the thrust inflicted on the carrier(arm)only?? Qustion 2. In a multi-stage helical gear simple planetary, will the thrust from question 1 be...

    Vascomax 300 Fatigue Life Props.

    Does anyone have any experience with using Vascomax 300 for gearing. If so what were the assumed allowables for the Contact and Bending stresses in the gears. AGMA does not cover this material and we are wondering how to go about implementing AGMA 2001-C95 and 908-B89 with materials other than...

    High speed bearing help. Sizing Question.

    Try KOYO bearings in Japan. They had a 115,000 rpm ceramic bearing when lightly loaded and using a oil lube not grease. Check them out. I am sure that they are on the WEB somewhere. Edson Campos edsoncampos@earthlink.net

    saving problem

    I have had the same problem with the same card. Solution 1 is to save the part NOT-shaded. in wireframe it will save correctly. Solution 2, is to get latest drivers, I cant remember what version the drivers were but I know that it fixed it. Try ATI. Is your computer a Dell? Edson Campos...

    The history of the "mil"

    "mil" from what I remember means "A Thousandth" as in 1000 millimeters. I know that english and german engineers working in the states used that term and that is where I heard it first. May be its simply laziness to say thousandth. Edson Campos edsoncampos@earthlink.net
