Position of the thrust bracket for the natural compensator
Thread Content
Hello everyone, as shown in the diagram, which is better, position 1 or position 2? What factors do they consider respectively? Thank you.
Can I say that all the drawings I’ve seen show locations further away than 2, and even further away than 1?
But I did see position 1.
Placed in position 1, what role does it play in buffering thermal expansion?
I work in a design institute; normally we would place it at position 2, and distance still requires stress calculation. It is possible to place it in position 1 as well; there is no issue with safety in that case. However, placing it in position 1 wastes the compensating capacity of this variant square compensator. Unless there are other special reasons, such an arrangement is safe but not the optimal one.
There’s already a perfect answer downstairs :)
