AI Thread Summary
For creating an interference fit for bushings in aluminum tubes, specifically with a 1 1/2 inch outside diameter and 30mm outside diameter bushings, reference to standard tables in the Machinery's Handbook is recommended. The Handbook provides essential calculations and guidelines for determining the appropriate receiving hole diameter. Users unfamiliar with engineering resources may benefit from acquiring the Handbook and supplementary guides. This approach ensures accurate fitting and optimal performance of the bushings. Utilizing established engineering references is crucial for successful interference fit applications.

Hi. I have aluminium tube (Alloy 6063T6 ) 1 1/2 inch outside diameter 1/4wt. I need to turn inside of this tube to take a 30mm outside diameter suspension bush interference fit . Is there a standard calculation for the diameter of 'receiving' holes for interference fit bushes?

Check your Machinery's Handbook. Many pages of standard tables.
 
Thanks for the advice. I'm not a mechanical engineer so I did not know the Machinery's Handbook even existed! I have ordered a used one as well as a guide to using it.
Cheers,
Bob

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

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
