Dave:
You are right about the pin skipping out of the hole. I have the hole slightly over-sized. I also have a lead in machined into drum so that as the pin meets the hole it has already started to extend. Finally the pin does in fact have a beveled or round edge.
I am confident that the pin...
Why?
It's because I am using the pin to stop the drum from rotating and I need to make sure that the pin I have chosen will be strong enough to withstand the impact.
What if I want the drum to stop instantaneously. I know this isn't realistically possible, so do I need to estimate the time...
I have a drum of radius of 1.375" with a wall thickness of .3025". It is rotating about its central axis at 2000 rpm. There are 6 holes drilled into the drum radially. I have a pin that slides in and out of those holes in order to release and stop the drum. I am trying to figure out the force of...
