IceStationZebra and Mike Halloran,
The components will be corrosion resistant. I may take it to the extreme and coat stainless cable with teflon. My largest issue at the moment is determining the corrosion tests to prove it out. I am currently looking into a 30 day SO2CO2 and 10 day 20% salt...
Thank you for the input hydroman247, what I have explained is worse but due to neglect I believe the situation can occur. Focusing on worse case, I am interested in the tests developed or used by companies specifying cables within the auto and marine industry. I am in the PA/NJ area still...
As new, around 3 lbs, but expect to have an increase over time and will anticipate up to 16 lbs. The item could be used along coastal applications around salt water as well as inland. They will not be submersed in salt water.
I am investigating using a throttle cable for a certain application. It is critical that the cable operate with a puling force. The cable may be at rest for up to 25 years in a variety of installations. Although the cable will be inside a conduit, the conduit has a small opening (1/16" wide...
I am looking for something basically like an electrical fuse but I also want to sustain a compressive force without buckling. Instead of simply melting, I would like it to break apart in small piece when it gets too hot.
I would like to find information or assistance pertaining to explosives. Ideally I would like to make a small metallic capsule around 1/4" to 1/2" long and 1/4" diameter which can explode at various selected temperatures. I am interested in the following ranges, 135F, 155F, 175F, 200F, 360F...
I can no longer double click dimensions and enter formulas. The variables box doesn't allow it either, it's just greyed out. Anyone else ever have this problem?
Bob
