could you draw it please ;-)

there is a surface on the left, it is just a quick diagram. The question is: Is the Fspring the resultant force (hypotenuse) of the triangle or just the x vector. I'm thinking it should be the resultant since it is the only applied external force , so it as to be the greatest force. (I know...

Hey guys, how are you? I feel so stupid right now, I'm having a hard time getting my mind straight, which of the two resultant force diagram on the right is right? Typically its a slider with a ball and spring that slides on a recess (cam type). I want to know the force required on the slider...

yes i know I'm putting small radius on the land, thx

yes, that is exactly what I'm looking for, but with the use of an equation to get the normal angle vs stroke of ball. thank you

yes but i want it in the movement direction of the pin so perpendicular, in relation with the ball normal angle on the slot

Hey guys, i'm building an apparatus with a sliding pin containing a spring and a ball. I want to lock in two different positions so I've rounded two slots in the housings. I would like to know what is the equation two find the normal force of the spring on the ball depending on the displacement...

i will try to post a sketch tomorrow, thanks for the reply

Hey guys, I'm making a test jig that needs to simulate a train caliper. The test jig consist of an arm that rotates 90 degrees. The jig must give a certain amount of torque at every degrees (see graph below). I was thinking on making a cam with an eccentric roller follower and die spring. The...
