Re: Sliding axle tension system
Well ideally you could calculate the diameter of the bolt you need.
Stress is equal to Force over area. If you increase the area of contact with the bolt you decrease the stress. (as someone already suggested) But what IS the force? I'm not really sure. The term "tensioning" is rather ambiguous in chain systems. According to the Diamond Chain company the deflection at the center of the chain should be between 2-3% of the center-to-center distance of the sprockets. But if the chain can deflect, it isn't really under tension is it? If there is no tension there is no force... Something doesn't make sense...
