Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on designing rack and pinion gears, with specific parameters such as a steering ratio of 9.23 and a front load of 1500N. The user calculated the torque on the pinion as 9Nm based on various factors, including tyre pressure and friction. They seek assistance in determining the module, teeth selection for the pinion, and calculations for linear force and speed. The urgency is emphasized due to an approaching deadline for report submission. Overall, the user is looking for guidance on the necessary calculations and design parameters for their project.

Hii,
Can anyone help me in designing rack and pinion gears and their formulae...steering ratio of my steering=9.23 ,the load that on front =1500N...I.e.,load to move by pinion ,torque on pinion is 9Nm...that torque was caluclated based on tyre pressure ,friction between tyres,front axle max load,i.e., T=(2*co-efficient of friction*Wf^1.5)/(√(π*p))...was that correct??...c factor =2.19 in . (c factor = 2*module*Zp(pinion teeth)) ...pls help in module finding,teeth selection on pinion,pitch,i heard linear force,speed of pinion ,linear speed of rack...((angular velocity of pinion/linear velocity of rack)=1/radius of pinion) are all required for designing ryt...i don't know how to caluclate linear force those and all...please help ...I m almost in deadline...hope someone will lift me... Tq :)

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
