    1/4-20 'thread forming' screw

    Hello All, We manufacture the dc motors. And for attaching the end frames and the shell, we plan to replace the bolt & nut assembly with the self-threading screws (thread forming). We use 2pcs of 1/4-20 'thread forming' screw to drive it into a blind hole in the casting. (The thread-forling...

    Moment of Inertia - armature

    Hello All, We make 3.0" DC motors... and for some blower applications, we mount the wheels to the shaft and assemble the motor-wheel into blower housings. Because of the tight clearance that we maintain between the wheel and the housing... even when the motor shaft flexes a little due to the...

    self-aligning spherical bearing

    A quick question to all the pundits out here... what exactly is it about the larger self-aligning spherical bearing that makes it better than the smaller self-aligning spherical bearing? I've heard a few people here and there mention its superiority, but what I want to know is why. Is there...

    accelerated life test on the bearing

    Hello all, We make dc motors... and as you know, bearing is a part of the motor system. We use 608 ball bearings. Mostly, in the field... the bearings would take the radial (side) load... and a little axial load, depending on the application in which they are used. Right now, we are trying to...

    FEA TOOL

    Hello all, My company makes permanant magnet dc motors... and we are in the process of buying a FEA software. For CAD modeling, we use SolidWorks... so we prefer to buy the FEA program that is compatable with the SolidWorks. We enquired about Cosmos and MSC... and I am confused on which is...

    ultrasonic welding of contaminated parts

    Hello all, In one of our applications, we attach the "metal-graphite brushes" to the "brass terminals" by ultrasonically welding the brush shunts (or pig tail - made of copper braided strands) to the terminals. This is being a bottle neck operation, because we are having...

    25 lbs preload spring

    Hello all, We make dc motors. Our customer's requirement is that we pass a 10 G vibration test at 24-1000 Hz frequency ~ the motors being excited along the axis of the motors for 6 hours. We manufacture shorter stack motors whose armature mass is 1.3 lbs and the larger stack motors whose...

    10-32 screw / 10-24 tapped hole

    Hello, Our motors call for a 10-24 tapped hole on the endframes, and a 10-24 screw is driven into it to mount the motors into the unit.Accidentaly, we used a 10-32 screw instead of a 10-24 screw. (Because the torque wrench was powerful enough, this was not inspected during the assembly...
