Thanks for all the replies. I finally found something I can get off the shelf actually and posting it here for people's knowledge: It's called a pivot joint with locking handle: http://www.framingtech.com/pivot-joint-lock-handle-45mm-profiles-with-m12-mounting-hole-p588.htmlThank you all once...

I just want some ideas/mechanism for tilting - ignore the other movements I talked about above please (that was just for the sake of detail that I mentioned them) Any mechanism like that of a laptop screen for example, where you just use your the thumb of your hand to move the screen (i.e. in...

I have attached two pictures to make things clearer. The first one shows the hose only which has a diameter of 40 mm and a head with a rectangular sort of mouth. The air pressure for air coming out of the head is 3.8-4 bar. The application for this is to force the glasswool fibers coming out of...

Thank you for the reply. Well it is just the hose which I want to tilt and it is to be done by hand. During the course of a day, the hose might need to be tilted at 35 deg, then maybe at 70 degree and so on... I searched for air line swivel fitting, but these are too small for our use. The...

Mechanical engineering is a very broad field and so you first need to identify which part of it interests you. From your post it seems that bearings/gears might be your area of interest. As someone who has read mechanical engineering at a very prestigious university, I can tell you that if you...

I'm sure there must be some mechanical engineering textbook with details on this!...

Hello, I want to design a mechanism for tilting an air hose (not more than 10 kg) to a desired angle (anywhere between 0 and 90 degrees depending on operating conditions) and holding it there. I've tried googling this up but just can;t find what I was lookin for. Then I searched for...

Thanks Drakkith I'll keep that in mind for sure!

Hello PF! This is Sherry and I thought I'd just say hello. For many concepts, I've been able to improve my understanding bcuz of PF - hope I can learn more and peps contribute as well! Thanks
