Checking Bending Moment of Hub Connectors

AI Thread Summary
When checking the bending moment for a hub connector, it's essential to consider both the maximum bending moment values provided by the manufacturer: one for primary load and another for primary plus secondary load. The discussion emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate value based on experience and application. A rule of thumb mentioned suggests achieving a working tightness within the middle two-thirds of the clamp's adjustment range. Additionally, the type of clamp being used is crucial for accurate assessment. Ultimately, selecting the correct bending moment value is vital for ensuring the hub connector's performance and safety.

hi Gents,
i am checking bending moment for hub connector. The manufacturer send me two values of maximum bending moment- one value due to primary load and one value due to primary load + secondary load. If you have any experience on checking bending moment of hub, please advise what value we should use?

The rule of thumb I have always used that should get to working tightness somewhere in the middle 2/3s of the clamp, if when tightened the clamp is at the bottom end of its adjustable tightness the clamp is too big and likewise, if it gets tight at the top end the clamp is too small. although it would help if you mentioned what type of clamp your working with.

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...
