3djim Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I estimate ~760 lbs force-to-close, where FTC is applied at handle center. Assumptions: 1) moment arm (dist from coil center to handle center) = 2.625" 2) coil inside diam = ~.91" 3) closure angle = ~38 degrees 4) wire diam = .375" If anyone has better estimates of the above parameters, then I can get a more accurate FTC. (I would be especially be interested in handle spread and coil inside diam.) E.g., if the coil inside diam is actually .982" (which, as I best understand, is the value for a RB WT), then the FTC = ~720lbs for the GG. As a side note, my estimate for a WT is ~865 lbs FTC... it has a .394" wire diam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
