The pin the bellcrank rotates on where a double shear pivot is used.
In double shear the sizing is straightforward: find the minimum cross-sectional area of the chosen material that withstands the shear load, which is the magnitude of the vector sum of the actuation rod and damper applied forces. Bending moments induced by this load can usually be ignored, though this should still be verified.
No part-specific design process is documented. The Bellcranks subsystem design process applies: 1. Take the wheel rate target from kinematics; the bellcrank is named by it (CR26I front is the 150 lb/in wheel rate crank, rear the 200 lb/in). 2. Set the architecture: connection points, pivot location, double or single shear. 3. Size the pivot for shear from the vector sum of rod and damper loads. 4. Run single-plate FEA for deflection first, then stress. CR26I rear single plate at 0.19 in gave FoS 3.54. 5. Calculate the wheel rate change that the measured deflection produces, and confirm it is inside tolerance. 6. Fit and validate the damper position sensor.
