Calculating Max Force on Pillow Block Bearings for Reverse Hyper

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the maximum force on pillow block bearings used in a homemade Reverse Hyper machine. The user has built a pendulum system with two 5/8'' pillow block bearings, each rated for approximately 6.25 kN. They seek equations or reference materials to determine the forces exerted on these bearings under varying loads and speeds. The request highlights a need for technical guidance in assessing the mechanical stresses involved. Accurate calculations are essential for ensuring the safety and functionality of the equipment.

Hey Wizards,

I recently built a Reverse Hyper, picture attached, for my home gym. It's a basic pendulum on which weight is added. It currently utilizes 2 - 5/8'' pillow block bearings for the pivot. Each are rated to ~6.25 KN.

Can anyone provide me with the equations or reference material, so that I can calculate the maximal force exerted on the pillow block bearings with different loads and speeds?

Thanks!

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
