All right. I've got a little more info. I spoke to the service tech at the Bobcat dealer, and he told me that the output of the auxiliary hydraulics is fixed. So I've got to reduce the flow from 18gpm to 15gpm max, and limit the pressure from 2800psi to 1500 psi max. He also mentioned that...
Believe me, kcj, I've considered all the ideas you have proposed. They're good ideas, but either too slow or too complicated (expensive) to be cost effective.... except for the rollers (wire straightener). I plan to add those into the next iteration if/when necessary. I've managed to convince...
Thanks for the reply kcj. As for my background, I'm a non-degreed designer with over thirty years of experience dreaming up things mechanical. Just haven't dealt much with hydraulics.
The application is straightening bent rebar; mild steel ranging from 1/2" to 3/4" dia. I plan to mount a...
Go easy on me guys, I'm a novice. I'm building an attachment for a Bobcat skid loader. The Bobcat's PTO will deliver 18 gpm at 2800 psi. My motor has a capacity of 15 gpm continuous, 20 gpm intermittent, at 1300 psi max continuous, 1500 psi max intermittent. Obviously, I need to control the...
