Engineering Asked on July 8, 2021
A loose drawer or loose sliding parts in general jam more easily than ones with tighter clearance. There is a name for this problem but I can not remember what it is, and searching for “loose drawer jamming effect” is not helping.
There are simple recommendations that mechanical engineers learn involving the ratio of the depth of the motion and the looseness, perhaps 10:1 or 20:1 is a recommended minimum from what I recall, but now I lack the words to even search for this.
Can someone remind me what this principle is called?
I made this article on https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schranken I don't know the English name for it either. I then searched extensively for it.
