How to synchronize two stepper motors most optimally?

We need to push a large load (2 tones) using two stepper motors, connected rigidly to the axis (two screws). I'm worried the motors could micro-step out of sync. And cause malfunction. I can see...

Supplier for large robot components (screw rod, 4m long)?

We're making something special for the lab. We need a 4m long linear rail, that can push 27kN at 20mm/s speed. Two NEMA 42 motors with a screw could deliver the performance. It's hard to find a...

Three stage servo valve. What are the benefits?

What are the benefits of a three stage servo valve, controlling a hydraulic piston? It uses a second spool, so I'd expect additional hydraulic losses (reduced piston velocity?). I suppose some...

Strain controlled fatigue tests?

I'm working in geotechnics. We are testing "fatigue" response of cyclic loaded sand, where deformation cycles (or strain cycles) of constant amplitude are applied. I need references to research...

Non-cavitating fluid... what is the closest thing to non-cavitating fluid?

Even ultra low vacuum grease evaporates near absolute vacuum. Cavitation takes place when pressure drops near absolute zero pressure, near -100 kPa, -1 atm... when the "vapor pressure" limit is...

Strain space plasticity? Strain space soil models?

I have come across work of P.J. Yoder (1980) (A strain-space plasticity theory and numerical implementation). He made a strain-space equivalent to pure plastic Coulomb model. His model has the...

Paradigm shift. What to do if observations fundamentally contradict convention

Asked 3 minutes ago I have a problem. Measurements show the opposite of what convention assumes. It occurred in geotechnics, but could affect all material modelling branches. I tested soil...

Large strain compatible FEM (20% strain range)?

I am trying to make a sand model, which captures liquefaction / post-liquefaction recovery around a structure. We have the laboratory results and measurements, but to use them a model stable at...

Paradigm shift. What to do if you the observations contradict the convention?

I have a problem. Measurements show the opposite of what convention assumes. I test soil specimens. We try to decode how much deformation a certain loading (force) sequence will generate. After...
