The Micro-Adjustable Stabilizer Mount is placed into a three
dimensional model using AutoDesk Inventor. In this form, the design
can be tested for feasibility. The design comes just under the one
inch mark in the center when no adjustment is made to the pitch or roll.
When either of the two are adjusted, the edges of the design slightly extend
past one inch. However, the center line is still at the desired one
inch, making the design acceptable.

Autodesk Inventor Professional Stress Analysis was used to simulate parts under structural loading conditions. The parts analyzed were the parts that would be subject to loading in the system. The load used to analyze these parts was 50 lbs. The photo gallery below will illustrate drawings of the parts listed above as well as the parts' deformation under the loading conditions. Parts necessary for the fabrication and assembly of the design are also illustrated in the gallery. Click on thumbnails for larger view. Drawings
