My really expensive disconnect that the county said I needed for my shop and then told me I couldn't use as a disconnect for the service because it does not have fuses...
It's actually the state L&I guy, correct? I know, I've dealt with them before. Dealing with them is like dealing with NCC.
I took the time to model up the u-joint. There will be about 1/2" of material left at the thinnest point. I guess there is only one way to find out if it will work... Anybody know of a good shop for wire EDM near
I like the solution you're developing here, but it dose look like it could be a week spot.
Is there an OEM who makes a joint similar in design to this? I've never seen it done before.
Half inch is still a bit of material, but I don't like the fact that you will be using a greaseable joint. Those holes seem like they would be right at some of the highest stressed areas of the joint in the configuration you will have.
Did you run any analysis on the model?
I bet that took a while to model. Send me a stp file (or NX prt file) and I'd be happy to run a quick FEA if you don't have the resources. I'd need to know the torque to put on it... Cool build by the way.
Maybe you could put a drivetrain "fuse" in this thing. Something easy to replace that will fail before something important/expensive/hard to replace fails.
