the "roller suction effect" is the 4th new concept introduced, as intended & written (2/7/13)
(r.s.e. - conceptual approach, through cross industry knowledge)
applicability: spoke roller skates - spokes circumferentially disposed like fan blades.
the above mentioned example has been chosen, for it is intuitive;
for other spoke roller types, aerodynamic - in the spin :) - testing advised.
advice beforehand: when skating on this type - always avoid too dusty or too wet tracks.
for this type of rollers, only heavy duty bearings would be a good option.
please check this out with your bearings' supplier.

What is the kind of vertical load and the maximum speed (and rotation at that speed?)
ReplyDeletefor the average individual (80kg on 8 rollers) the static verttical load: 10kg.
Deletefor an average:
- roller diameter: 6cm
- skater speed of 50km/h:
4433 rpm
