I'm building a test rig to test the life of ball bearings by applying dynamic radial force on them.
I have decided to use a vice and modifying the jaws so they exert opposing forces on two different bearings.
I have poor knowledge on types of vices and would like some help selecting a proper vice for my application.
The vice must be able to exert a ton (2,000 lbs) of force (or is the correct term pressure?) and must be able to hold that constant force for an extended period of time (up to a week if possible).
The bearings being tested have an outer diameter of around 1.5 to 2 inches. What are your recommendations?
Thank you,
Jake
