AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating training equipment with easily assembled and disassembled legs and bases without welding. The user seeks a quick connection method, ideally allowing the base to slide into the foot for immediate use. Suggestions include using bolts, hairpin cotter pins, or a smaller diameter pipe on the foot to fit inside the leg, with a drilled hole for a pin. The user emphasizes the need for compact packaging when the equipment is disassembled. Additional details about the equipment's application and stability during use are needed for more specific advice.

I am looking to make a training equipment where the legs and the bases could be assembled and disassembled easily

Using bolts is one option, but I am looking for a quicker option where the user just slides the base into the foot and start using the equipment.

having the foot and base apart will make the packaging of the equipment more economic and compact.

The foot is about 12" wide and the leg is about 10" high

Thank you for any suggestion

There is nowhere near enough information to make a decent/useful comment unfortunately. It may be ok to just slide it in, it may not.

What's the application, what is the 'equipment'? Does it move when in operation? What does the leg and foot look like? etc.
 
Could put a pipe on the foot that is of a smaller diameter to allow it to slot inside the leg? Drill a hole through both pieces and then put a pin through.
 
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...
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...
