    Balance Forces
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing the effects of out-of-balance loads on a spindle with a fixed weight. The user has measured voltage output and displacement in microns to assess how these factors change with varying loads. They seek to understand the forces involved when the spindle is unbalanced compared to a balanced state. Tests have been conducted at two different speeds to gather more data. Additional visual aids, like sketches, could enhance understanding of the setup and findings.

Essentially I have a spindle with a weight placed at a fixed point. There are four different weights to take into consideration, all are positioned at the same point.

The results I have show what the voltage (pk-pk) output there is, therefore I can see how the out of balance varies depending upon the load I have placed on the spindle at a fixed point.
I also have some results showing the displacement (microns).

I want to know what forces I have to take into account when a spindle has an out of balance, compared to when it has no out of balance load applied to it.

These tests have been conducted at two different speeds.

Any help on this?

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 '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
