    Restriction gauge

    Guys I have what I think is a fairly silly question about a restriction guage on an industrial diesel engine. In the system we use, we have an outer and inner filter assembly leading to a turbocharger. In between there is a restriction indicator which sends a signal back to the engine when the...

    Breakaway torque

    Okay Gkranz First off the system will be getting redesigned. How? we don't quite know yet. What is a good starting point to redesign? Bearing in mind the focus is on changing the hydraulic system not any other aspect. Out of curiousity what are SOME of the applications for variable...

    Breakaway torque

    Also Is a load sensing compensator appropriate in this situation.

    Breakaway torque

    Guys Your help is incalculable. Ok first off the cost savings involved are generally using the current system, which is both inadequate and expensive when you take into consideration things like blown seals etc. As well no-one really wants to change the pump and prime mover set up. When I...

    Breakaway torque

    As well Running torque has yet to be measured but I has been calculated 200 Nm around 70% of the break away torque. I think some of the managers are intereseted in the cost savings. What are the main types of applications these motors are used with?

    Breakaway torque

    Gkranz I don't quite follow your statements "Most gear motors will only produce about 30% of their rated running torque. All spec sheets list running torque as you may well know" Any of the spec sheets I have looked at (David Brown or Danfoss) I have seen charts describing torque along with...

    Skirting Rubber

    The problem is that the skirting rubbers are set too tight to the belt because our fitters imagine that both the skirting and the rubbers are ultimately consumable they set the skirting very tight in the hope of reducing spillage. We tried softer and a harder materials- no change. Customers...

    Breakaway torque

    From the outset I am not a fluid engineer. I am investigating a process which requires a flywheel to be turned, In order to build up that initial momentum to get the flywheel turned a high torque is required and hence there is a very high pressure drop across the motor. The motors we currently...

    Skirting Rubber

    At my company we have a problem of skirting rubbers being incorrectly set on new conveyors. We usually overcome the problem by running the conveyor for a 5-10 hours and reseting the belts accordingly. This is by no means a perfect solution , has anybody seen this problem before. Is there a test...
