I have been asked to monitor load induced pressure in a double acting cylinder using a pressure transducer or switch. This is intended to automate a process control or I would use a pressure gauge. I realize this is not as straightforward as load cells but I would like to use an existing...
I have a thermoformed HDPE cover that is used outdoors as a machine guard. After a few months in service the part becomes brittle and fails. Can anyone reccomend a material that has similar mechanical poperties with enhanced UV stability? The color must be white or a carbon black would be...
Hi,
I have a hydraulic system I am working on that uses 2 pressure switches to safeguard/lockout the units power switch. This is a 12v DC system where both pressure switches must be tripped to allow the unit to recieve power. The sensed pressure may fluctuate while operating the unit so the...
Hello,
Currently I am designing a plastic cover. It will be mounted on a truck and will be exposed to the environment and possibly hydraulic fluid. the overall volume the part must cover is 2 by 3 by 1 feet. It will be mounted around a pivoting joint at the end or a boom. Its primary...
When in 2d sketch mode I can not dimension or constrain my sketch to the default datum planes or axis(x,y,z). I have tried adding work planes coincident to them with no luck. (offset plane distance 0.0). I haven't found anything in the help files to shed light on this.
I graduated in 06 with a BS in Mech. Eng. I was unable to land an engineering job out or school and have been working a production line job to get by. While at school I was intensely involved in our FSAE program to the detriment of my GPA(2.5). The problem I have now is finding a job in or...
I am looking for information on wheel nut designs used for racing. There seem to be 2 types of centerlock wheels/hubs, large diameter hollow "studs" with tapered nuts, and smaller solid studs where the wheels appear to center on a tapered sleeve that fits around the stud and the nut has a large...
