Well, thanks. So you're saying that for 500 pounds of force on a 3/8" Stainless Rod that is 2.342" long the deflection is 0.00483"? That's not bad, I think that would work.
I guess my question really, which I didn't explain, is would 500 lbs bend this rod permanently? If the deflection would not hinder the linear bearing from sliding I would say it's a go? |
