I have two questions:
1) Is it possible to cut the material with a laser cutter or scissors or do I need to have a specific tool?
2) What is the best way to attach the PZT-5H material to the beam but it can be easily detached for using it on another beam ( so no epoxy glue)?Thank you
This is the analytical working out. I substituted the value of 306mm ( the maximum length of the beam) to find the maximum deflection along the Z-axis. Which came out to be -2.39mm. But according to Ansys the average deflection is 0.3mm and the maximum deflection is 0.8mm.
This is the Ansys Values.
Hi Berkeman and @Lnewqban,
I have taken all your advice into account and slightly modified the design to minimise the bearing friction, I have increased the diameter of the second stage pulley and also introduced another pulley in the first stage to decrease the friction. I am learning a lot...
This is the sketch from the video, later in the video he replaces the pulley with a screw eye hook, I think that's is why he didn't have another hook in stage two.
