Design Request

• Our objective is to design a mechanism that will
  enable the rotor to break away from the gear pump
  shaft when the rotor seizes and then re-engage at
  the same timing.

Progress Choices
1. Continue to generate concepts until the team
can decide on a concept that will obviously be
successful. 2. Focus on analyzing the current
concepts in more detail.

Milestones for this semester

• Concentrate on the concepts we have established
  rather than continue to focus on the generation
  of additional concepts
• Perform detailed analysis of all current
  concepts.
• Apply appropriate mathematical models to concepts
  to determine if the design will satisfy the
  customer specifications.

5
Analysis

• An additional design consideration is that the
  drive sometimes rotates in reverse. Negative
  torque should not cause angular misalignment or
  disengagement.
• Establish whether the current concepts can be
  fabricated to fit within the space limitations of
  the design.
