We are already using hydraulic/pneumatic power to run the valves.
Only thing is, to get everything hooked up (1/4" stainless lines) takes 40+hrs for the mid range units.
I was hoping for a easy answer to this, but running gear boxes and such might be more expensive than running line
Ill have to take a look into it, because this has an Oil Field application, we do need the option to go with explosion proof if possible.
Using a gearbox might be a problem, but Ill look into it.
If I have more questions, ill ask.
Thanks
The Torque is at the hub of the valve (Rotary Shear)
The other option we have is to run an Linear Actuator, similar to what we use now.
The time frame, fast...~0.5sec or less for 90Deg of motion.
Hi Guys,
We ended up having a discussion in our office about electric motors and where we can find some.
What are using them for are manipulating valves (4 Way Barksdale Style) for a hydraulic closing unit (oilfield).
We have a few requirments.
1. They must put out at least 750inlb of torque...
We are working on a Hydraulic Unit for the Gulf of Mexico,
The unit itself is all Stainless. For the substructure, we originally planned to use Stainless Channel, but found it cheaper to use a break press to bend all the shapes from plate (i think we used 1/2" plate)
But this being Canada, we...
I have a 60HP TEFV Explosion Proof motor that we need to mount to a skid.
Behind the motor is a a Steel plate for a tank.
I know there is a minimum clearance for this, can anyone help me with what this value is, or at least a rule of thumb for it?
