We are developing a custom vacuum system and need a mechanical engineer to design a simple, durable quick-connect interface for a removable cylindrical stainless-steel accessory.
Key constraints:
- Accessory must remain single-piece stainless steel
- Must be manufacturable by metal 3D printing
- Internal diameter must remain unchanged
- No plastic parts, seals, inserts or added components on the accessory
- No lubrication
- Simple, robust design suitable for repeated use
- Minimal axial/radial play
- Fast and intuitive connection/disconnection
Any moving parts, springs, seals or locking mechanisms should be located on the vacuum side.
Expected work:
- Propose 2–3 concepts
- Recommend the best solution
- Develop the selected design
- Provide CAD files and technical drawings
- Consider tolerances, wear, friction and galling
Further dimensions and CAD files will be shared under NDA.
