I designed the system of this log splitter and have done all the necessary calculations. For a two stage pump which i have at 13.6 gpm the first stage is @ 650 psi which requires a hp of about 6. You can check it if u want but i know it is right. For an 11 gpm pump you need 5 hp. Im not...
yes i agree my return filter is rated at 20 gpm. I would take the strainer out but i know there is a few little shavings in the reservoir from putting it together. I need something there initially.
Yeah i have a 10 micron filter on the return, i appreciate ur advice, i may just let it run for a few times with the strainer and then take it out of the system. I just am worried about leaving it open to the pump and the cylinder i mean if something goes in it could hurt the pump and the...
I have been building a log splitter and i have a 13.6 gpm pump. To start the system i have a suction strainer 149 micron that says it is not for pumps over 10 gpm. am i ok to use this on the 13.6 gpm pump despite the rating, or will it effect my flow, and pump performance.
I know they make a...
I am building my own log splitter and i was wondering if anyone knew how to calculate the stress on the beam back stop that the back end of the cylinder connects too. it is a 1" pin diameter, steel plate will be used, and the thickness of the steel is dependent upon the strength. You'll have a...
