Tongue and Groove
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 29.1.2006
Torque transmission, shaft alignment, position locking and others are some examples of numerous applications where a non rotating assembly is needed. The tongue and groove design is ideal where there is a lack of space.

Shoulder (low cost design)
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 23.1.2006
Shoulders provide a positive rest for components in fixed joints or an abutment for axial displacement of parts in movable connections. Usually are made as a feature on the shaft. A low cost design for light parts and low forces is presented in this article.

Spring guiding stem
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 22.1.2006
Springs are very useful in mechanical engineering. In order to increase the life of a compression spring, correct guiding of the spring must be provided.

Keyway for square-ended key
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 20.1.2006
Keys are usually made from stock size rectangular bar (structural steel). Rectangular bars produce square-ended keys which could bind at the closed end of a round-ended keyway. How to make them not to bind; |
Shaft locking
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 17.1.2006
Another method for locking a shaft and preventing it from turning is with a parallel pin (dowel pin). This method is ideal for small and light weighted components.

Shaft locking-screw lock retainer
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 11.1.2006
Another method of locking a shaft is with a screw lock retainer. The shaft is totally secured by means of a dog point or a round end shaped set screw.
|
Shaft rotation control
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 8.1.2006
A shaft could be totally or partially controlled for rotation. In total rotation control the shaft is non-rotational. In partial rotation control a shaft can rotate by a certain amount of angle in order to perform a specific function.

Tension spring end holder
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 4.1.2006
Numerous applications in machinery require springs (tension, compression and torsion). Design solutions for guiding, holding and adjusting the spring must be provided in order to achieve functionality and failure proofing operation.

Linear micro adjustment
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 2.1.2006
Micro adjustment is a useful feature at mechanism and fixture assemblies. Unknown final position, rotation or linear movements must be regulated at assembly in order to work or clamp the work piece properly. This article describes a linear micro adjustment.
|
Angle micro adjustment
 |
by Lampros Georgiou - 31.12.2005
Micro adjustment is a useful feature at mechanism and fixture assemblies. Unknown final position, rotation or linear movements must be regulated at assembly in order to work or clamp the work piece properly. This article describes an angle micro adjustment.
