Figure 1 Toggle Mechanism
Eq. 1
Q = P · ( l / l1 ) · ( 1 / n )
Eq. 2
P = Q / [ ( l / l1 ) · ( 1 / n ) ]
Where:
Q = force applied to handle. lbf, (N)
P = clamping force, lbf. (N)
α = angle, deg.
l = length, in, (mm)
l1 = length, in, (mm)
n = efficiency coefficient,
0.98 to
0.84,
determined by frictional losses in pivots and bearings,
