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 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
