Engineering Drawing/Technical Drawing Assembly model

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around identifying an assembly model that converts linear motion of a shaft into circular motion of a disk. Participants describe its components, including a belt, pulley, pinion, bevel gear, flywheel, and a counterbalanced reciprocating output motion shaft. One participant humorously identifies the assembly as a walnut cracker, while others suggest potential uses like a reciprocating pump drive or a tool for making donut holes. The request for a CAD model remains unanswered, highlighting a need for further information. Overall, the conversation explores the mechanics and possible applications of the assembly.

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anybody knew what the attached assembly is and how it works- any information on where to find a CAD model for one would be greatly appreciated, too!

Thanks guys

Looks like it converts linear motion of the shaft to circular motion of the disk (or visa-versa). Do you have any more information about it?
 
It appears that a belt is attached to the pulley (Item 1). This turns the pinion on the shaft, which is engaged to the horizontal shaft by bevel gear. There on the right hand side is a flywheel, and the left hand side is a counterbalanced reciprocating up/down output motion shaft (Item 2).

Well geez, anyone can see that it's a walnut cracker! :redface:
One could use it for a reciprocating pump drive.
It might make it a good tool to punch out donut holes.
Or to give Bond, James Bond, his "shaken, not stirred" Martinis.
 
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...
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
