got two nice pics from a toyota info pdf.
I took a shot at the patents, oof hard to search. going to have my friend see if there isn't a patent number on it somewhere. let's see what he gets back to me and what the multimeter tells.
that (allmost) makes sense. i think i get how it works. the only thing that still confuses me is why are there teeth under the secondary winding, the correction coil. wouldn't a solid core do the same thing?
for added info, the wiring harness for the sensor only has 4 conductors, so I...
I found a better pdf, and I think I understand a bit better now, does not at all work like I expected, I'll post up some specific questions if no one here jumps in and explains it before my head is fully wrapped around it. It sees to be some kind of transformer with a variable core that causes...
So I got bit by the "how the hell does this work" bug. An internet friend of mine has a prius steering column, which has a DC motor and a torque sensor in it. the ECU is AWOL. while he could find one in ajunkyard, it expects sensors his car he wants to put it in (early 70s bug) doesn't. WHat...
sorry, been staring at it soo long everything sounds obvious, I am sure you know the feeling.
it is a solid shaft with a hole drilled through it from the side. I am not worried about failure of the pin, but failure of the shaft it passess through when the pin is removed. it is a plain...
So I am trying to figure out this shear stress problem that I have no idea how to approach. I have a shaft which is transmisitting a torque. It can be locked to its housing by using a pin which passes through it radially. I need to know that the shaft won't snap when transmitting its torque...
So I have a chain driven system on a tricycle that I am kind of stuck with. the center distance of the two sprockets is 65 inches, and the chain is a 530 series, which has a pitch of 5/8. Now I have seen some sources reference or mention a 60 to 80 maximum of center distance to pitch ratio...
