| =Clamp Threaded Rod and Shafts Positioning=
| |
| | |
| *The initial design branch split is whether the mount holes for the Shafts and Threaded Rod are propagated along a common centerline or not.
| |
| | |
| *Common centerline positioning provides the highest possible power transfer that can be attained through the 2 shaft 1 threaded rod system- because disjointed positioning can cause friction and bend-related force vectors not along the clamping axis of motion.
| |
| | |
| However, because the workpiece must be clamped above the centerline clamp system, bending can still occur.
| |
| | |
| *So the real design issue is which mounting style minimizes the bending forces. For the disjointed mounting style, because the shafts must not take up the clamping volume, they must always practically be below the workpiece like the Threaded Rod.
| |
| | |
| The optimal design equalizes the drive force of the Threaded Rod and the reaction force of the workpiece such that no bending forces occur and the shafts act like a carefully balanced seesaw. Hence the shafts should be somewhere between the Threaded Rod and the workpiece.
