In Reply to: When is a "roller bearing" not a roller bearing? posted by bdiament on May 3, 2004 at 04:27:19:
All this time I've been wondering why these roller blocks have so much resistance to moving horizontally. So I thought zero resistance would be better. Now I'm confused.
Doesn't the Los Angeles town hall sit on rollers? I wonder if there is curvature.
So would double cups above and below the ball be better still?"It sounds like what you are using are not really what is referred to by the term "roller bearings". Using a ball held in place by the interconnects is closer to using a "cone" with a point at both ends"
No this is nothing like cones. Cones rigidly hold the CDP and prevent both vertical AND horizontal motion. This thing has virtually zero horizontal resistance.
Well, my next project will be using a ball end mill to add some curvature. I'm thinking of hollowing out the center and pressing in some maple wood dowels to damp the "roller cup".
