Thrust Force in Theory of Ernst and Merchant Formulas

Thrust Force is in the radial direction, i.e., in the direction perpendicular to the generated surface. It may be considered due to the reaction between the tool and the workpiece. And is denoted by F_t. Thrust Force is usually measured using the Newton for Force. Note that the value of Thrust Force is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Thrust Force?

Thrust Force is in the radial direction, i.e., in the direction perpendicular to the generated surface. It may be considered due to the reaction between the tool and the workpiece. Thrust Force is usually measured using the Newton for Force. Note that the value of Thrust Force is always positive.

Can the Thrust Force be negative?

No, the Thrust Force, measured in Force cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Thrust Force?

Thrust Force is usually measured using the Newton[N] for Force. Exanewton[N], Meganewton[N], Kilonewton[N] are the few other units in which Thrust Force can be measured.
