I have quite a complex assembly, and I want to make a General Assembly Drawing where I need to have two hole patterns visible. If I right click on the View of interest, click Edit View, and then change the style to wire frame with hidden lines, then there are waaay to many unwanted hidden lines...
I have an assembly. The assembly was transferred over to me by a co-worker who is on vacation. Is has about 50 or 60 fasteners in it that, I think were taken from the inventor fasteners library. I need to save or derive the assembly, so that I can send it to a purchaser who wants to insert it...
I have a box, and the box contains a circuit board that allows you to be able to control a boats motor with a throttle. Its a throttle sitting on top of a circuit board, and the circuit board is located inside of a water tight box. In order for someone to be able to hook it up to the rest of...
That is a good option. Thanks, I'll look into BlueBeam. I don't know, but if you have a professional version of Adobe Reader, can't you edit PDF files straight in that?
In an ideal world, we could convert the files to AutoCAD and then change them in AutoCAD.
I work for a company, and we have a bunch of scanned engineering drawings that are in the form of .CAL files. One of my co-workers uses a program that is called myriad to view the drawings. This is a good program, as it definitely has many different types of file formats that you can view with...
well, I want to create a deadhead situation ideally, but I think that I will require some flow. Maybe one gallon per minute. I want to spin a rotary valve and test its performance capabilities. I want to test it for a long period of time. The rotary valve has a 1.6" diameter inlet and...
i want to make a system where I create a steady pressure of approximately 60-100 psi of pressure. I want to buy a pump (i'm thinking a diaphragm pump), as well as a pneumatic motor and also maybe a check valve that would work in that pressure range. Possible? Any help would be great.
As a...
All that I have been asked to do is set up a design using Inventor, and source the materials required to perform the testing. Reasons as to why the lathe option is no longer viable isn't something I know. The motor is being purchased, and, being that it will be NEMA standards motor, it is...
Well, I really appreciate the help guys. Thanks for all the info. We are still looking around for the type of pump that's going to meet our exact requirements, and it's likely to be a flexible impeller pump. Consideration will definitely be taken for what kind of piping we use, in order to...
using a 3 : 1 ratio gear box reduction, and spinning the rotary valve with a max RPM of 600. The 10 HP will be overkill, but we don't really have a way of quantifying the seal drag. Lathe option was used previously, and doesn't work like we need it to.
ok, basically, I am looking to run a test on the performance capabilities of a rotary valve, and inside the rotary valve there are 4 seals. What I want to do is attach a stationary arm to the rotary valve and then spin the rotary valve with the electric motor at different speeds to see how the...
well, notice that my name includes Newby in it. Could you recommend something that is affordable and small that would suit my requirements? Also, (and again, my name has newby in it) can you get a VFD and motor in a single package? All I need is 2 things.
1 - it should be 3 or 5 hp (I...
I want to get a 5 hp, 1800 rpm electric motor, and run it from 0 to 1800 at a steady rate. Variable frequency drives are all huge, very expensive units that have multiple applications. Does anyone know if there is something simpler? I literally just want a knob that I can turn from low to...
well, i think you bring up an interesting point, and I fully agreed with you, but i have someone who i am speaking to who seems absolutely sure that if you use a non positive displacement pump, then you are going to get some back from the flexible impeller, and so there will be a flow created...
supposedly (and this is kind of counter intuitive to me), I can use a non positive displacement pump and create a dead head situation (no flow rate at all, 0 gallons per minute), and then depending on the rigidity of the impeller, i am able to create a pressure depending on the amount of power...
as a bit of additional info, I want water to run through the pipe, there are no particulates in the water, and the flow rate is approximately 1 gallon per minute
Hello,
I am looking to set up a small test to calculate the performance capabilities of a rotary valve, and modify the part for optimal performance based on the test results. Part of the system will require a pump. I have never really looked into purchasing a pump myself, but I do know what...
