AI Thread Summary

Continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) are recognized for their ability to provide variable gear ratios. The discussion explores whether separate components exist that can achieve this functionality, particularly those controlled by electrical signals. A reference to a specific product from PIV Drive is provided as an example of such technology. The conversation emphasizes the need for advancements in gearboxes that can offer variable ratios independently. Overall, the inquiry highlights the interest in the development of standalone variable gear ratio devices.

I'm sure many of you are aware of CVTs or continuously variable transmissions. Many of you are also aware, I am sure, of off-the-shelf gearboxes which you can use to step up/down (typically) the output of a motor.

Do they have a device which allows a variable gear ratio, especially one controlled by an electrical signal?

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 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
