Re: Cable discs
The axle does not rotate.
The disc and the wheel rotate in unison around it.
Axles fail from bending loads.
My learned friend is correct. I was trying to use some lateral thinking where
the OP had all the bits in plain view and still couldn't connect suggesting to
me a non-mechanic with a genuine puzzle. At 2nd hand I wondered if "axle" was
layman's usage for the 'bit in the centre'. It is pleasing to know that despite
the 'troubles' in this ng that within minutes more probable solutions had been
provided.
"Engineers ... are not superhuman. They make mistakes in their assumptions, in
their calculations, in their conclusions. That they make mistakes is forgivable;
that they catch them is imperative. Thus it is the essence of modern engineering
not only to be able to check one's own work but also to have one's work checked
and to be able to check the work of others."
