Thank you for your extensive reply. Estimated number of cycles will be low (~15600). All I want to show(proof) with this calculation is, that the material deformation won't be present. (expected stress < allowable stress) Wish you all the best in new year.

I'm doing a little project which came to a stop. I calculated expected material stress to be ~10 MPa. (bending) I know that my material (AlMgSi0,5) should carry well that stress, however I'm interested in max allowable stress for this material...

Hello, Thank you for your answer. I'm trying to size my shaft now (diameter). How much can a shaft bend, for the bearings that run over it not to get stuck?Alan J

Hello, I thank you for your reply and your help. I have done the calculations on problems I mentioned and depicted in my previous post. Would anyone be so kind to check if these are correct? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
