Calculator

The calculator computes the load capacities of a single cone and V-groove mount using either a sphere or a Spherolinder of identical diameters, and taking into account the complete mount geometry. (Equations)

If the load is evenly distributed, don't forget to multiply the result by 3 for the entire 3-groove mount.
