Hi Kozy, thanks for coming back to me.
So, my caclutions look more or less correct right? :smile:
When designing the bracket I'll confider a FoS of at least 3, just to be on the safe side.
Another question on the same line. I'm considering the material to use, either aluminium (6082 T6 /...
Don't worry, I imagined it was a typo :smile:
Thank you Kozy for going through my calculation and giving me feedback.
Sorry for maybe asking dumb questions.. but I can't get my head around the facts that the formula for calcuating the torque changes depending on its origin.
I'm trying to...
Thank you all you very much for the answers and help, really appreciated! :smile: :smile:
@1Byte, thanks also for the link to hyperphysics.. a nice resource to check/learn basic concepts.
There is something that still confuses me quite a bit, shouldn't the Torque = Force * Radius, instead of F...
no replies :-(
Let me know if I'm asking the wrong question..
Basically I'm interested in the rotational forces on the brake bracket while braking.
Any help??
Hi to all,
I'm new to the forum.
I'm designing a bracket for a front caliper of a motorcycle. I'm learning to use solidworks just to design a bracket that will be safe to use in the real world :-).. but I'm stuck on calculating the force that will be generated on the bracket (or better...
