hi what is the formula for calculating gland fill. I read value of gland fill should be ideally 75-80% to accommodate various expansions(thermal,etc) but in AS568A standards for a particular o-ring cross-section dia , the gland height and width is always lesser. This leads to gland fill being...

Hi Everybody, I want to design an o-ring groove. I presume if you know the o-ring cross-section dia and inner dia of o-ring you can use the AS568A series/chart and find the required dimensions? Am i right? please guide?

one more question... can we add up the mass moment of inertia's of different bodies rotating about the same axis to get the total mass moment of inertia of the entire system...?

this is the pdf format of my drawing.

hi, the shafts are perfectly balanced. they have a pair of c-brackets. i have attached a schematic drawing. the torque is very high. and the speed of 0.02 rpm is reached instantaneously . so to find the angular accln, what is the time to be taken for calculation purpose. please guide me.

hi, i am doing a project on frame tilting arrangement where the sheet metal stacks mounted on a shaft have to be rotated by 180 degrees. the mass of the shaft is 15 tonnes. to calculate the torque required i found the mass moment of inertia and multiplied it by angular acceleration. the total...
