Figuring out Jargon for a Metal Rope End

    Metal Rope
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around designing an escape system that incorporates a metal rope and requires a stopper to prevent overextension. The key term identified for the stopper is "stop sleeve," specifically a type of compression sleeve used in this context. A link to McMaster Carr is provided for further information on wire rope compression sleeves. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the relevant jargon to facilitate research on materials, strength, and sizes. This knowledge is crucial for effectively implementing the escape system design.

I'm in the process of designing an escape system that uses a metal rope. I'm hoping to use a stopper so that the cable is not pulled too far and came across the attached. Unfortunately i do not know the jargon to be able to research it (Possible Materials, strength, sizes, etc) and was hoping someone here could let me know what it is called.

Thank you.

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
