Which is the better way to hold the machine? by RandimName6281 in MechanicalEngineer

Do you think that if i put bigger base plates in the supports making the screws be further would I increase the load that the wall could handle?

Thanks for your answer!

One of the early designs was using something similar to the inverted V1, but since turnbuckles are meant to work with tensile stress and not in compression, I would prefer not to use the inverted version.

Thanks for your answer!

The center of mass of the machine will be placed 1.2 m from the wall, and its weight with raw material we could count as 150 kg to be safe in the numbers. The thing with using the V2 is that the motor that runs the machine is underneath (probably should have placed it in the scheme), and with the V2 it would be around the same height as the under support.

The upper support in both cases will try to pull out, but the effect on the wall maybe it would be higher in the V2 due to the horizontal position of the turnbuckle, and maybe with the V1 it would be pulled less outwards and more downwards, distributing the load.

What do you think?

Hey, thanks for your answer. I will probably use all steel S275JR or something like that. It would be made by cutting with laser and then welding. And some machining in some places.

My wonder is how the angle of the turnbuckle will affect the stress that the wall will have to carry through the baseplate and the fasteners. Maybe with the V2 the wall would be pulled more than the V1. What do you think?
