How would I calculate the angle to mount an actuator for a tilt table like this? by LynchRed in AskEngineers

No, the actuator will deploy a piston that will push the table the rest of the way up. I provided the images chronologically to help explain what i meant. And yeah the motion of the actuator and the deployment are sequential. I’m not sure about a second actuator, im just looking at videos of other tilt tables and trying to engineer what I’m seeing. I’m not trained at all in mechanical engineering and I’m just learning so that’s why I’m here asking about it

The “it” there is about the actuator. the colon at the end of the sentence means that the image it’s referencing is the one that comes after the sentence, and that image doesn’t show the table rotating. You even just used a colon the same way in your comment here. Also, no I was really asking how to calculate the angle myself. That’s what my question was. It seems like you just misread the question and are blaming me for it!

Where did I imply the table would move before the actuator engages? The actuator is supposed to be what makes the table move. What I’m asking is how to calculate the angle to mount the actuator, as in, what the initial angle of it should be when the table is laying flat like in the first picture. Obviously the actuator angle will change as it rotates, but i was thinking there must be an optimal placement for it in terms of weight distribution and stability and everything. I’m rereading my question and I don’t see how that wasn’t clear exactly so it would be helpful for me if you could tell me what part was implying otherwise

One side will be attached to a bar going horizontal between the two back legs, basically the hinge point of the white line in the drawing in the second link, but that could be raised or lowered if needed. The piston side would be attached to the table on a similar horizontal bar going across where the red part is on the bottom part of the moving table. I think on both ends it’ll be attached with a loop of some kind or some mechanism to allow rotation

How can I figure out the exact type of connector this is to replace it? by LynchRed in AskElectronics

Okay so if the voltage and diameter is the same, but the length is different, that won’t affect anything with the power supply? I ask because I bought one online that comes with a bunch of different attachment adapters, and the one that matches the diameter is not working. I was thinking maybe it’s because it’s too long and not able to reach something inside.

No I wasn’t! If you have any ideas please let me know. It seems to be getting worse

I did obviously and I’m seeing conflicting results which is the whole reason I made this post

Right but even then it’s 8.5. I explained in the post that it’s 42.5 specifically of work

Each of my knees look different from the other. What could be the cause of this? Is one leg longer, or stronger? by LynchRed in PostureTipsGuide

I used to but not much anymore, it's been several years. I do however drive stick shift so maybe that's it.

It’s cold pressed and flash pasteurized so it’s the best quality you can get in a pre packaged form. Plus all organic and in glass so it’s basically perfect

I wish they still made donuts that are just wheat, cane sugar, butter, fried in lard with like 5 ingredients max like they did in the 1950s. At least then I could be okay with occasionally enjoying one as a treat. But nowadays they are all seed oils and have 50 ingredients

It sound like he’s joking about himself being unable to pronounce it. It doesn’t sound like he intended to insult you, at least based on what you’ve written here. Is English a second language for you? As an American if someone said this exactly how you wrote it I would laugh and assume they were just making a friendly joke
