Darned Andy, if you would have had an article on Maytag washing machine agitator spline integrity, you could have saved me a lot of trouble last week.... ;D

That's simple. Anything with Maytag on it is junk, these days.

Just a minor note ... the loading in Figs. 2 & 3 have an equal chance of fatiguing the stud and it snapping.

Doug, sorry if we weren't clear. Both figures 2 and 3, while presenting radial vs. axial loading, both present a bending force on the rod. Thanks for letting us know that we need to be more clear in our writing.

no biggie  The worst situation I've seen for rod ends arises when the 'misalignment' through the end exceeds that allowed for in the center section of the rod end. That causes a bending moment at the rod end which when multiplied by the length of the threaded section causes it to fail. |

That's what I get for posting a tech article so late! ~russ Actually, I thought it was already pretty clear. It describes the risk of acting force of figure 2 and then reads "An example of this sort of stress concentration can be seen in Figure 3." which means that both figures describe the same stress. Just my $.02, T |

ahhh yeah "It's worth noting that while the loading in Figure 2 represents radial loading, it would create stress concentrations just like those seen in Figure 3" What I get for reading a techy article before lunch (coffee)  |

Now, if we could have had that conversation in the comment section of the article, we'd really be making headway. Maybe by article 3...  |
