Re: Mechanical engineering question.

I also calculated what the torque applied to the axle/hub splines is and the reason the hub splines strip if the castle bolts aren't tight is obvious. The radius of the splines is about 25/64", so the gear ratio is 30.72:1, and the torque applied to the splines is over 30 time the force applied to the axle, or nearly 14,300 Ft/Lb is example above. Here is a chart showing the gains and losses of various tire heights based on a stock 18" tall tire. That is the information most people are looking for. How much force is involved is mostly of interest of Techno-Nerds like me. |
