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 'Race car suspension Class'

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...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

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
