I am not coupling a hydraulic and electric motor. Here is a link to my other thread that described more about what I am designing. http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=376826
I was investigating if I could get a lower overall cost, since the hydraulic motor with the specs I needed...

We have done hydraulic motors attached to our gearboxes using NEMA C-face in the smaller sizes (1/2hp - 2?hp) NEMA 56TC for example.

Where did you get your hydraulic motor? Did the manufacturer specify the NEMA C-face type, or did you just deduce by looking a the...
The shaft will be horizontal.
The device will be attached to a forklift, and rotation will be controlled by the operator using the hydraulic valve on his forklift. I actually want a fair amount of play in the positioning. I will add some item to the gripper assembly to insure at least a few...
Ooops, I got lost among some of the tabs in my browser, and actually though I was replying to a different thread about the gearbox. I can't find any way to edit or remove this post. So, please just ignore the above post.

Here are a few quotes from the thread, "Sounds too good to be real," and "I'd like to think something being promoted by a group affiliated with a public university would be more careful about their claims".
Those sound like appropriate things to say any time alternative energy is considered...
I am considering designing a system that uses a hydraulic motor mounted to a gear box. This is outside of my normal experience, so perhaps I am doing something that is not viable, or simply not normally done this way. I have found a hydraulic motor with the low speed, and high torque that I...
Thanks for the recommendations. I have just now contacted the Eurodrive folks.
Of course, the pillowblock is the standard approach. But, if an existing gearbox meets our needs, it simplifies the design and assembly, and may even be cheaper.
Thank you,

I am designing a mechanism which needs to rotate a relatively large overhung load. I don't know if what I am seeking is out of the ordinary, or perhaps I am just lost in all the hits from my internet searches. My own experience in this area is limited. The system will grab and rotate insulated...
I have a correction on price. The most basic version of LabView is $1,000. And I don't think that will have the features I need. So, the next step up is $2,700, which definitely puts it out of my price range.

First, note that the student version of LabView does not permit commercial usage. Though, the $600 cost of the Labview is a bit more than I am comfortable with, it is not out of the question. They seem to sell interfaces in the $150 range, but it may also work with my existing controller...
I am designing a test rig to test a vacuum chamber for structural issues. Currently, I am working with the $108 LabJack U3-LV for the I/O interface, and with the software from AzeoTech, $90 DAQFactory Starter.
And while the above seems up to the task, I am realizing that my programming skills...
