Designing a Mechanism for Two Half Circles' Synchronous Rotation

AI Thread Summary
A mechanism is being designed for two half circles to rotate synchronously, utilizing springs and a single input rotational source. The discussion includes ideas about incorporating a crank and slider system to facilitate the opening and closing motion. There is a request for guidance on effectively using springs within this mechanism. Additionally, participants are prompted to consider the purpose of the half circles' movement and whether they function as mirror images. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing the mechanism effectively.

Regards Respected Teachers and Members

I would like to draw a mechanism that two half circles should rotate synchronous close and open as a result gears will rotate at same Value , i would like to use springs in this mechanism between circles , the other idea i know that use crank and slider , link from slider attached to both circles as a result opening and closing will happen , but i would like to use springs and the input rotational source should be one as shown in figure

Need guidance about spring using

Thank you

I think we need to step back and look at why the mechanism needs to move the two quadrants or part circles. What will the quadrants be doing ?

Do the part circles move as mirror images about some plane ?
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

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...
