List of Parts

Table 4.2: Individual Components of Complex Post Hole Digger
Part Number Name Qty. Weight Function Material Manufacturing Process Image
1 Shaft 1 NA oz Constrains inner parts of tool and handles physical stresses of digging, etc. T 6061 Aluminum Extrusion
2 Guide bushing 2 NA oz Constrains central rod to maintain linear motion within shaft T 6061 Aluminum Lathe???
3 Central rod 1 NA oz Transmits rotational motion of lead screw into translational motion, forcing shovels closed T 6061 Aluminum Extrusion
4 Lead screw 1 NA oz Transmits rotation of handle into translation of central rod Steel Automated CNC lathe/threading machine
5 Lead screw nut 1 NA oz Constrains lead screw Brass Automated CNC milling
6 Lead nut bushing 1 NA oz Constrains lead nut and locates it within shaft T 6061 Aluminum Lathe???
7 Inline ball joint 1 NA oz Translates rotation of lead screw to translation of central rod and connects the two parts Steel  ???
8 Shovel link 2 NA oz Connects central rod to shovels T 6061 Aluminum Extrusion
9 Shovel 2 NA oz Contain dirt when digging Steel Stamping
C10 M8 washer 3 0.05 oz Increases surface area over which compressive force of the tightened bolt and nut is applied, placed between nut and surface and/or bolt head and surface to prevent damage to surface when nut is tightened Steel Stamping
C11 Bushing 1 0.7 oz Used to align two Connecting arms and create a low friction surface for Connecting arms to pivot about Brass Roll forming
C12 Plastic spacer 1 0.05 oz Placed concentric with Bushing between two connecting arms to provide low friction surface and prevent the arms from wearing against one another Plastic Injection molding
C12 Scissor pin bolt 1 0.3 oz Joins two handle assemblies together, passes though Bushing to create main joint around which handles pivot Steel Upset forging
C13 M10 washer 1 0.1 oz Increases surface area over which compressive force of the tightened bolt and nut is applied, placed between nut and surface and/or bolt head and surface to prevent damage to surface when nut is tightened Steel Stamping
C14 M10 lock nut with nylon insert 1 1.3 oz Threads onto scissor pin bolt and tightened to join connecting arms together. Nylon insert prevents nut from loosening Steel Forging
C15 Digging head 2 26.3 oz Provides means of digging into dirt, sizing the hole, and removing dirt Steel Stamping
C16 Digging head connecting bolt 2 0.8 oz Joins connecting arm to digging head, allows connecting arm and digging head to pivot Steel Upset forging
C17 Digging head pivot bolt 1 0.8 oz Connects two digging heads together, creates pivot point around which digging heads open and close Steel Upset forging
C18 Large plastic spacer 2 0.1 oz Placed on pivot bolt to align two digging heads and protect pivot bolt Plastic Injection molding
C19 Small plastic spacer 1 0.05 oz Placed on pivot bolt to align two digging heads and protect pivot bolt Plastic Injection molding
