This Drum is designed to have a continuous cuthear to reduce vibration and torque reaction in the low gravity environment. At maximum depth of 1/2 the Drum diameter the Cut width is 175mmThis could be assembled in Aluminum or magnesium, or using Additive s:OD: 450mmOverall Width: 360mmCutting Width: 175mm or less depending on depth of drumCutting Edges: 1Cut depth: aprox. up to 25mmMass:Aluminum: 3.1kgMagnesium: 2.23kgCapacity: (note includes 30mm allowance for central drive shaft) See Images for estimated volumesInternal Volume(theoretical maximum): 44.6 liteInner Space Volume(Empty Chutes): 43 LiteEstimated Achievable Volume: 36.5L(less 15% of inner space volume)Fill Ratio: 80-85% of theoreticalMaterials:T6 Magnesium or T6 Aluminum Anodized for wear resistanceTeeth: Carbide, Cast Ceramic or Hardened Steel, Machined or Cast, Riveted to Shell(Al Rivets) TiN coated for reduced tion:Sides and Shell: WeldedScoop and Shell: WeldedScoop and Teeth: RivetedDesign Features:Design does not require continuous rotation to maintain load, allowing for lower energy usageScroll Cut allows for cotant engagement with medium reducing vibration etc especially in low gravity environmentScroll design allows larger debris to be pushed or rolled off to the side reducing potential for blockage of intakeAllows for smoother intake of material compared to scoops Welded Cotruction:Removes need for internal structures to maximize storage and minimize potential build up and blockagesOffset design:self regulating depth of cutSingle cutting edges:Increase available shearing forceScroll shape of blade increases blade life as blade wear will be spread along edge progressively over ed cutting edge:Reduce Digging in, uses a shearing action to remove material rather than an breaking digging action reducing chance of cture:Manufacture methods are common and well knowimple and quick assembly of components
