Hello :) (sorry for the bad english, but i really am in need of help)
I currently attend a mechanical school in Austria and have to design a new clamping unit for a lid.
The circular lid is loaded with a force of 60kN (the force acts on the center) and clamped with 4 units.
The currently existing units are equipped with star-shaped grips which have to be turned clockwise to clamp the lid.
The problem here is the particle generation of the thread.
Therefore, i am looking for another solution, which can applie the force needed to clamp the lid, but without the particle generation.
It has to be a manually operated solution.
I am thankful for every kind of advice you can give me and am thankful for you spending your time helping me.
