How do you know it would be enough? Also, does surface area have anything to do with this? |

Re: Clamping wheel hubs
well if the bolts arent in direct contact...
it depends on a lot of things. first of all, the 2 surfaces. if there both plastic then its gonna take more force then steel to get them to stay. if you want it to be pure friction, its gonna be the more torque the better. roughing up one or both surfaces will reduce the amount of torque needed. genraly speaking, if your dealing with metal a half turn past hand tight should be okay for 1/4, a 3/4ths a turn past for 3/16. if its lexan or plexi, your gonna have to be realy torquin down, maybe 2 or 3 turns past hand tight. but friction can ALWASE slip, especialy if there is an eccesive (and usaly unplaned) force in a parrallell direction to the planes that the friction is acting on (sry a bit confusing). reinfocing with pop rivits or even 1 or 2 roll pins is never a bad idea. hope everything works out. |

Re: Clamping wheel hubs
The drive plates will be 3/16" thick aluminum and the wheel is polypropelyne plastic
