Radial bearings to take load off a movable pulley/sproket

AI Thread Summary
Using a radial bearing can effectively support a movable pulley that needs to handle a load of 5 tonnes while allowing horizontal movement. However, more specific details about the arrangement, including the shaft, pulley, and hook configuration, are necessary for accurate recommendations. A rough sketch of the setup would help clarify the design and load distribution. Proper bearing selection is crucial to ensure stability and functionality. Detailed information will lead to better guidance on achieving the desired movement and load management.

I have an arrangement where a movable pulley has a hook attached. This pulley has to take a load of 5 tonnes and yet move along the horizontal direction. Is it possible to achieve this by using a radial bearing?

It is certainly possible to do this sort of thing but we need to know more about the details of the problem before we can give any good answers .

Can you post a sketch showing the actual arrangement of the shaft , pulley and hook ?

Thread 'Carburetor cfm rating -- adding more air to intake manifold'

Carburetor CFM A Holley Carb rated at 500 cfm 2 barrel carb has venturi diameter of 1.3/8". There are 2 barrel carbs with 600 cfm and have 1.45 diameter venturi. Looking at the area the 1.378 bore has 5.9 sq. Inch area. The 1.45 dia. has 6.6 sq. inch. 5.9 - 6.6 = 0.70 sq. inch difference. Keeping the 500 cfm carb in place, if I can introduce 0.7 sq inch more area in the intake manifold, will I have the same potential horsepower as a 600 cfm carb provide? Assume I can change jetting to...

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
