181. [TowerTalk] Thrust Bearings (score: 1)
Author: "Wilson" <infomet@embarqmail.com>
Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2015 11:39:16 -0500
Can we get this terminology right? Thrust bearings take AXIAL loads off members, like the prop shaft on a ship. They dont take lateral loads as a main function. Yes, there are some ball and roller be

"Used, cheap, save my life, in the same sentence?" Can anyone find reports of harnesses that failed, new or used? For that matter, I'd like to see reports of harness that actually caught people who f

I have a couple of Cantenna dummy loads and they are fine, but for real power I use an old Jenair electric stove module. Its rated at 4KW and my puny 1500W cant even get a weak glow. Of course at R=2

Theres a local opportunity to get a TX-489 at a good deal. This tower looks nice, but the specs seem pretty optimistic to me. Do we have any first hand owner experience in the group? Has anyone had o

The higher the truss support the less compression will be put on the element for any given vertical load (lift) at the outer attachment point. I would use some sort of clamp, with an eye, for the att

Good grief! Get some 4 scraps of pipe or rebar and drive them in! Your problem will be pulling them out. We use a tractor and boom pole at our FD! We also use an electric demo hammer to drive them...

Why not clamp a cable, with an eye on the other end, to the lift cable, take the load on a come a long, and get the box down? Then fix the box, or replace. But first try a wrench on the driveshaft, r

If you put your back guy point inline with the tower, when its down, you wont have to slack the other guys at all, just pay out the back guy. If you mount the winch on a tractor or vehicle, you can p

I use EMT exactly this way. There is NO issue within the tower, just a modest compression load and a tiny torque. I use the splices made for the EMT, but I drill 3/16 holes through the EMT so the scr

Lets not call names. An EMT mast is great, as long as you dont get greedy and make it too tall outside the tower. Mine is about 2 above the tower top and I think it will survive any wind likely in my
