thanks!! what about emergeny extension, how would this be done with an electric actuator?? i know that with hydraulics you can just bypass the fluid to the reservior and let gravity do the work.
Has anyone been involved with, or know about using electromechanical actuators in aircraft landing gear systems. Are they as reliable as hydraulic ones? How does the cost and weight compare with hydraulics? Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks
as it so happens we have actually had swimming pool contractors in to have a look at building us a 'pool' but you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll begin testing in the middle of winter at 20 below.
good point about the RN - i'll look it to it :0)
We are trying to find a testing facility that will be big enough to accomodate our test piece which is approx. 2m x 2m x 9m so that we can submerge it in water. we are in ontario canada and would like to stay as close as we can but would consider going anywhere if the right place came up...
thanks - i tend to agree that you end up spending more in the long run with used equipment, and that's the angle i'll be pitching, however it's not me signing the cheques, but it's good to have that coming from someone other than the supplier
We are adding to our facilities and need to install a complete new compressed air and hydraulic system and (of course) our budget is very small. What are the dis/advantages over new and old compressors and hyd pumps?
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but no one here at work seems to know. is there a compressor avalible that will compress both air and water?
