Designing Axial Static O-ring Grooves to "Industry Standards"

Thomas Larson
in Standards
7 2 Intermediate
This Covers 2/3 of everything I know about designing O-ring seals. I frequently used these while designing production tools. Most the design is based on the standards that are put forth by SAE. Personally, I be going over the reiteration by Parker since it's what I learned. Other references include the Apple Rubble Product and Trelleborg for their proprietary O-ring Gland Calculators, and the help they gave me in building my own. Links to their websites are found in Section 5. All design in this lesson is for "Static Axial Design under normal conditions”. Disclaimer: while I have completed a BS in Mechanical Engineering and have passed the FE, I am not a PE. While these calculations are standard, published, and I personally have used these practices to design multiple high-pressure tools, I cannot guarantee that they a perfect. If you are in doubt, in a hazardous environment, or using in an application that could cause harm to life, I would suggest double checking with other sources (engineering) and/or extensive testing. Also, my experience is in Oil and gas, in the continental USA. You may notice my practices being bias to API standards and in English Units, I suggest you take all I say with a grain of salt. Lesson Plan: Step 1: Background and Definitions Step 2: Finding a Published O-ring Gland and incorporating it into a design. Step 3: Designing Custom Groove using the Standards Step 4: Other Design Recommendations and Drafting Example Step 5: References and Useful links A copy of the files can be found at: https://grabcad.com/library/how-to-design-an-o-ring-gland-to-industry-standards-parts-and-photos-1

How to FDM Print for Part Sliding Clearance

GrabCAD Tutorials
in Assemblies
13 4 Intermediate
If you are 3D printing parts that have to fit/slide together after printing, you will need to put some sort of clearance between those parts in your CAD system. A good starting place is a clearance 2x the layer height you are going to print at, but you should make a few smaller test prints at different clearances to see if the 2x layer height rule holds for your particular situation and orientation. Have fun and happy printing!

SolidWorks Flexible Sub-assembly (2 ways)

Yahya T Khedr
in Assemblies
10 4 Intermediate
Most of us find it boring to keep repeating the same mates between the same parts within large assemblies, so we make "Sub-assembly" files to work with. But unfortunately, the default configuration for ALL sub-assemblies makes them "rigid"; as if they were a single part. Here we'll know how to make them "flexible", and in the easiest way possible.

Import Solidworks assembly into V-REP

Ninjago
in Assemblies
7 1 Intermediate
. . . . . . . . The animation in Solidworks is not that advanced and sometime complicated especially when we use robots, so you can use the opensource simulator V-REP instead. This software is very powerful because it can be a C/C++, python, java, Matlab, octave, Lua client. First step: download the SW2URDF exporter : http://wiki.ros.org/sw_urdf_exporter make sure that this software is included in Solidworks Add-Ins -- SW2URDF The KUKA KR16 is not included in the educational version of V-REP, You can download our URDF and v-rep scene from this link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kHn2xVgdGr9KEQnRgLEhC4hEKyHTzTsp/view?usp=sharing
