Featured Physics – Bending Moment
Did you know that weight is not the most important factor to consider when choosing a rotator?
That’s right. Since rotation relies on taking something from a stationary space to rotating one, the rotating bearing is taking the majority of the load. So the height, width and even the center mass can impact whether or not this bearing holds or fails.
See the diagram to the right? The downward force is strongest at the edge farthest from the wall. That means that it acts like a lever and create a problem if you haven’t compensated for this.
