I'm looking for a skilled engineer to help to resolve a mechanism solution. Requirements: - The mechanism should be sturdy and reliable, designed to hold an MDF frame of 800mm diameter. - It needs to be manually operated, allowing easy rotation of the artwork. Currently it is fitted with a 12CG Lazy Susan Bearing - Greased (6.330inchx12inchx8mm Round) - Vertically this is not spinning as effectively as it would if it were horizontal due to the gravitational pull on the alignment of the bearings. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Experience with mechanical design. - Ability to create durable and functional manual mechanisms. - Attention to detail and craftsmanship.

Hello there, Your 800mm MDF artwork needs a vertical rotation solution that stays smooth despite gravity-driven bearing misalignment, and I can help resolve it with a sturdy, practical mechanism. I will apply Mechanical Engineering principles to assess the current 12CG Lazy Susan arrangement, define the load path, and develop a more reliable manual support using Solidworks for detailed modeling and 3D Design validation. The concept can address axial and radial loads, alignment, friction, and ease of operation while remaining durable and manufacturable. I can begin by reviewing photos, the frame weight, and mounting constraints, then provide a refined mechanism concept and production-ready details. What is the MDF frame’s total weight and thickness, and must the artwork rotate continuously or stop securely at selected viewing angles? Best regards, Sahil

I can solve this. You have correctly diagnosed the root cause: a standard Lazy Susan bearing is designed for horizontal compression and binds in vertical orientation because gravity shifts the internal balls within the races. Quick question before I propose a solution: does the 800mm MDF frame rotate in a vertical plane like a wheel, or around a vertical axis while staying upright? Your description suggests the former, but I want to confirm the rotation axis. My approach for a sturdy vertical rotation mechanism would be to replace the Lazy Susan with a shaft and bearing design using a pair of deep groove ball bearings pressed into a fixed housing. The shaft carries the MDF frame through a hub, and the bearings take the radial load properly regardless of orientation. This is the same principle used in industrial rotating displays that must work in any plane. For an 800mm MDF frame, I would size the shaft and bearings to handle the moment load without deflection, and include a simple friction or detent lock so the artwork stays where the user sets it. I would design the mounting plate, hub, and bearing housing in CAD, specify the bearings and hardware, and deliver fabrication drawings. The mechanism would be manually operated, smooth, and durable. I am available to start immediately and can share similar mechanism designs in chat. Let me know the rotation axis and I will send a concept sketch.
