Best Answer

An anchor point should be able to support a 5000 lb load, or twice the max anticipated load in a fall. For the average worker wearing a harness and shock absorbing lanyard, that is around 950 lbs. Most unistrut framing members are not designed to support that load. Bad idea.

What is the difference between continuous strut and discontinuous strut?

Its very simple, continuous means a single long member(an angle, a channel etc) is used as a column while in discontinuous many small members are joined to make a compression member.

Two kinds of landing gear?

There are many different kinds of landing gear that can be categorized by their geometry and their internal design. There are fixed landing gears that do not retract. These are usually a support that is made of spring steel that has a axle for a wheel. This example is found on small Cessna aircraft. Other fixed landing gear that are attached at a pin joint and have a shock strut to absorb landing loads. Helicopters are good examples as many have a fixed landing gear. The simplest landing gear shock strut is designed to stroke and absorb energy and it has an axle for either 1 or 2 wheels. These usually rotate on a trunnion at the top of the gear to allow retraction by pivoting of the entire gear. A drag brace locks it down into position. Larger gear have a bogie beam or pivot beam that have multiple wheels, either 4 or 6. The bogie beam attaches to the shock strut and is allowed to pivot during landing and taxi. It will have an actuator or locking mechanism to hold the bogie beam in proper position to allow it to retract in to the wheel well. Internal Design The simplest design is the lower half of the strut(called the Piston) is designed to stroke into the upper half (Outer Cylinder). As it does, the piston forces the fluid through an narrow opening (orifice) that restricts the movement and allows the gear to absorb energy. Many Nose landing gears are of this simple design. Other gear designs will allow the Piston to stroke to a point where it contacts a 2nd Stage. This 2nd stage will have higher pressure or an enclosed volume of air that acts as a final cushion to stop the gear. Some gears have a 2nd Chamber at the top of the gear that has its own piston and orifice. As the Piston strokes, the internal pressures build up and push against the 2nd Stage and it begins to stroke and also resist the forces. This example is found in the DC10 or MD11 Main landing gear.

What does the strut do in an engine?

A strut is actually part of the suspension and not the engine. The strut is a shock absorber surrounded by a spring and provides the upper pivot point for the steering. I suggest doing a google search on "macpherson strut".

Replace struts on 2003 town and country?

You will need to compress the strut spring with a spring compressor. When the strut spring is compressed remove the strut retaining bolts. There is a strut retaining bolt on the top and the bottom of the strut assembly. Reverse the process to install the new strut.

How do you change a rear coil spring on a 1998 buick lesabre?

1. Remove the rear seat cushion and seat back to get to the strut upper nuts. 2. Remove any necessary cover(s) from the strut upper retainers. 3. Raise and safely support the vehicle. 4. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. 5. If equipped with Electronic Level Control (ELC), unfasten the tube clip, then disconnect the air tube from the strut. 6. Support the control arm with a suitable jack. 7. Unfasten the strut-to-knuckle bolts. 8. Remove the strut tower mounting nuts through the trunk or the body slot behind the rear seat back. 9. Separate the strut from the knuckle. 10. If equipped with Computer Control Ride (CCR), lower the strut, then detach the electrical connector. 11. Remove the strut assembly from the vehicle. 12. Remove the spring from the strut assembly. 13. Replace the spring with a new unit 14. If equipped with CCR, attach the electrical connector to the strut. 15. Position the strut assembly in the vehicle, then install the upper strut mounting nuts. 16. Install the strut to the stabilizer shaft bracket and knuckle. Insert the bolts in the direction shown in the accompanying figure. 17. If equipped, attach the ELC air tube. 18. Tighten the strut upper mount nuts to 35 ft. lbs. (47 Nm) and the strut-to-knuckle nuts to 140 ft. lbs. (190 Nm). 19. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Remove the jack from under the vehicle. 20. Carefully lower the vehicle, then tighten the wheel lug nuts to 100 ft. lbs. (136 Nm). 21. Replace the trunk side cover and/or rear seat back and cushion, as applicable. 22. Take your vehicle to a reputable repair shop to have the rear alignment checked and adjusted, as necessary.
