Need Review for my idea
Hi Guys,
I am stuck with a design problem. I need to design a constraint for a cylinder. Cylinder Sizes varies lengthwise and diameter wise. Here is a screen grab of my work. Need help in finding if there is a better and secure design for the same. Here I can adjust the design simply by changing the size of the aluminium tubes thereby accommodating various cylinder sizes. I also feel the urge to use strap to tighten the cylinder. Kindly think from a large scale manufacturing point of view. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
A good strap eliminates the need for the surrounding structure.
I would agree some kind of ratchet or cam-locking strap design, then its one-size fits all. Scuba tank straps come to mind.
How big are the tanks and how often do they get changed?
I suspect your current design would not constrain the tank in rotation very well, is that a concern?
