AI Thread Summary

AGMA gear classification standards, particularly regarding classes and grades, are a key topic of discussion, with many still adhering to the AGMA 2000 standard despite the 2015 revisions. Class 16 is noted as having the tightest tolerance among AGMA gear classes, indicating its precision in manufacturing. Participants suggest reaching out to AGMA directly for clarification and detailed information. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these standards for proper gear selection and application. Engaging with AGMA staff can provide additional insights into the latest standards and tolerances.

Does anyone here have knowledge of AGMA Gear classification standards relating to classes or grades? I understand the AGMA std was revised in 2015 but many still follow the AGMA 2000 standard. Is Class 16 AGMA the tightest tolerance gear class?

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
