Title: Trying to identify a rotor...
Post by: Matt_the_pirate on October 06, 2012, 02:43:48 PM
Hi everyone! Was suggested that I try in this part of the forum...

I\'m currently trying to get my dissertation under way - I\'m looking into stress analysis with comparisons between rotary engines and reciprocating engines.

I\'d just like some help identifying a rotor that I have acquired. I\'ve tried quite a bit of searching but am not having any luck.

Dimensions that I have found online are not matching up.

Rotor depth is 66.5mm, and the radius is roughly 100mm (but I think I may be measuring it wrongly. Apex seal recess is 5mm across.

(sorry the last image is crappy)

Thanks!
