Hello Folks,
My question is about a silo extractor. I'm designing the bearing and I was interested on the loads on the extrator worm screw that ''extract'' the silo's stuff. When the extractor is static the worm screw carry the silo's stuff weigth but when the worm srew is running, there is an axial load caused by the stuff restriction but what about the radial load caused by the weigth of the silo's stuff since the worm screw take off the silo stuff constantly. Can we still consider the weight of the stuff in the silo in a dynamic operation.
Thanks for your help,
