    Does a Beveled Washer on an Inclined Surface Preserve or Cancel the Incline?

    Thank you Baluncore for the detailed feedback, and I sincerely apologize for my late reply — unfortunately it was beyond my control. To clarify my design constraints and solution: 1. The upper torso plate is the certified component — not the bottom. It is made from SAE 1010 steel, has...

    Does a Beveled Washer on an Inclined Surface Preserve or Cancel the Incline?

    Thank you all for the excellent discussion so far. The counterbore solution (milling at 10.23° directly into the lumbar plate) is clearly the cleanest approach and I fully understand the reasoning. However I just realized a pratical constraint I have totally forgotten about: the lumbar plates...

    Does a Beveled Washer on an Inclined Surface Preserve or Cancel the Incline?

    Thank you — this is very helpful and confirms my reasoning. Regarding the terminology inconsistency — you are right to flag it. I used both "beveled washer" and "conical washer" interchangeably, which is confusing. To clarify: I am referring to a single part — a washer with one flat face and...

    Does a Beveled Washer on an Inclined Surface Preserve or Cancel the Incline?

    Thank you for the detailed feedback — the points on washer rotation, sliding, and dowel pins are all valid and I will address them in the design. However my original question was specifically about whether the beveled washer changes the 10.23° inclination angle — and I don't think that has been...

    Does a Beveled Washer on an Inclined Surface Preserve or Cancel the Incline?

    *Background** I am designing a lower torso surrogate adapter for crash test dummy drop tower testing. The assembly works as follows: - The **lower torso** (EN24T wedge) is bolted **flat** to the drop tower floor - The top face of the wedge is inclined at **10.23°** — this is intentional, it...

    Engineering How do radial tooth clutches function?

    maybe if the transmitted torque is too high it will generate a radial force big enough to push the gear of output shaft and here we stopped transferring power?

    Engineering How do radial tooth clutches function?

    Greetings I have a hard time understanding how the radial tooth clutch function when it stops transferring power . Basically I understand that clutches: 1) transfer power from input shaft to output shaft 3) disengage when the torque transmitted has reached a certain limit ( normally when the...
