We are developing a low-power mechanism to wind up the actuating cable pulling a "web" of thin material.
Think of a window shade without an internal spring. The circumference of the roller with the shade changes continuously.
The circumference of this component varies to match the windup and payout of the shade.
A FUSEE was developed hundreds of years ago, used by clock makers to compensate for the diminishing torque as the mainspring unwound.
The item is modelled in SolidWorks, any other format is available.
The full radius at the top of the .020" "fin" is not really required, just breaking the edge would be sufficient.
Very small ceramic media in a vibratory finisher would probably suffice.
I'm looking for a quote for onsey-twosy at the moment, as well as suggestions to optimize the manufacturability of the part.
Thanks,
