2008-04-23 Balancing our new Crankshaft with IronCAD

The Karling Racing Team has been using IronCAD 3D for all designwork and documentation for the new dragbike.

In the latest version of IronCAD is the COG (Center of gravity) tool available. With the part or parts in an assembly marked and clicking on the COG icon does it take a second or two for the program to position a small dot in the weight center of the object. If selected, the position of the weight center also is shown.

The picture shows that the weight center is only 0,500 from the centerline of the crank when a calculated counterweight is added temporary to the crankpin. By taking away or add material at the right place does the weight center position move.

If you want a 30 days trial licence of IronCAD call Solidmakarna Sweden National at 08-556 185 40 or International +46-8-556 185 40.

You can also go into http://www.solidmakarna.se/ or http://www.ironcad.com/ and order a trial download.
