Mike and P y'all are absolutely right, you guys did have great suggestions and know that you guys have been in the industry and appreciate giving me an insight. As a student having no prior experience with hydraulics, I respect and take in all your feedback. I wouldve fired me too. I mistakenly...
Thank you guys, I appreciate! I am going to use the valves to control a small mechanical ROV arm. It will have four double acting cylinders and I was trying to determine the best cost efficient method of control. The pressure is regulated at 150 pai and will put all control system components in...
I am having an issue with the difference between servo valves and solenoid valves. For example, if I needed one 4 way 3 position solenoid valve for one double acting cylinder, how would using a servo compare?
Good Afternoon,
I was curious as to whether anyone has a suggestion for a good option for a submersible pump for the scale of application we are doing for our project. As we'd like to have all our hydraulic system be on-board. The deepest we are going to go is 75 feet and only utilize 125 psi...
Hi all,
Is there a way to simulate cylinders that move a mechanical arm in a creo assembly. I'd like to animate the arm in use and also possibly get the forces at different points during operation. I think using servo motors will work, but not exactly sure how to set it up correctly. Thanks!
Good morning,
I am working on designing an arm for my team's underwater ROV project. The assembly in Creo consists of links, hydraulic cylinders, brackets, and plates. In total, there are 4 double-acting cylinders. One to allow the arm to pivot about the base, two for the arm joint movement...
Thanks everyone for the feedback, taking them all into consideration and I really appreciate it! The more I can learn the better. Been working hard balancing summer courses and work, along with the project. To answer the pump question, we'd like the pump to be submersible, and still deciding on...
Thanks Dave, I appreciate it! I have considered using single-acting, but didn't pursue the thought, but you bring up a great point. I am going to do some analysis and consider them as an option. Have a good one.
Thanks Mike I appreciate your response. Yes, I should have first stated some of the fluid hydraulic specs we are limited to. It's a rather small scale vehicle compared to the ones we see in the industry today and is our capstone engineering project. We are designing and manufacturing it...
Greetings, My team is currently working on the design of a mechanical arm to be attached to the frame of the ROV, and want to have the entire hydraulic system onboard. The issue we are facing is that there will be two arm with each requiring 4 double-acting cylinders, and two solenoids per...
