02:51 AM orlock: flyback got banned from ##security heh
03:49 AM mrdata: why does that not surprise me
06:32 AM goppo: anyone know how the tensioner on this device (an automatic door pulley) works? https://imgur.com/b0XJq4L
06:33 AM goppo: presuming the angle bracket is threaded, given its low thickness, how does the bolt shift the pulley?
06:34 AM Tom_L: pulley is mounted to the top plate and slides over the bottom one
06:34 AM Tom_L: pretty straightforward
06:35 AM goppo: the circlip, spring and washer hold the bolt to the pulley holder, but how does the bolt fasten itself to the bottom holder
06:36 AM goppo: Tom_L the bolt needs to turn to push the pulley left or right, doesn't it?
06:36 AM Tom_L: probably welded studs
06:36 AM goppo: for fine tensioning
06:36 AM Tom_L: the long bolt is threaded into the bottom bracket
06:37 AM goppo: that's my thought, but isn't the bracket too thin for a good number of threads
06:37 AM Tom_L: it's a cheap design.
06:38 AM goppo: Tom_L I think almost all of them are like that
