Gear Clamp Design-Describe Friction Force

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the frictional force exerted on both sides of a collet when a force 'p' is applied by a cap nut in a gear clamp design. Participants are seeking clarity on the calculations or principles that govern this frictional force. There is a request for specific details or formulas that can help quantify the friction experienced in this setup. The initial poster expresses uncertainty about the clarity of their question and is looking for guidance. Accurate calculations of frictional force are essential for optimizing gear clamp performance.

Gear Clamp Design--Describe Friction Force

I need to know how much frictional force is exerted on both sides of the collet (the piece in the middle of the image) when a force 'p' is applied by the cap nut.

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

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 '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...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
