Thank you for the information.

Hello all, I am an electrician in a can manufacuring plant with a question. Our requirements for cooling water used to be around 100gpm for our ironers. They have done several modifications and now think that we need to increase the flow. I agree that they do need to increase the flow but our...

Are there any simple calculations to use to figure out what the preload should be an a bearing? Thanks in advance. Kyle

Hello, By chance would anyone have a copy of an electrical print for a Marlo water softener? Model # MGT-240-2 Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, the amperage on the name plate is FLA(Full load amps), the amperage while running can very depending on the load. If the current exceeds the FLA, then you could possibly have the wrong size motor, or you have a mechanical falure somewhere in the system. Yes, on start up the current will...

You could also purchase and inexpensive PLC and 2 CT's. Use the PLC to control your circuit. When the current exceeds 2A have it switch to the larger Xformer. When the current drops below 2A switch back to the smaller one. Just a simple idea.

I have the manual for the Minster SCRB-52 eddy current controller. If you have a fax # I could fax it to you, or I could mail you a copy of it if needed. My e-mail address is Buhsman@aol.com if you have any questions.

Thank you Paul, forgot all about the MSG instruction. In our apps. I've never used it, but looks pretty straight forward. Thanks again. Kyle

I have two plc's that basically control one machine. One is a AB 5/04 and the other is a 5/01. What I would like to know is if it is possible to move the data, say an input or an output from one plc to the other without actually running a wire from the output of one to an input of the other...

You might also check out this site. We use these high speed vision systems to detect inperfections in our can production process. Once set up they are very reliable. www.presco.com

Check this site out, gives a pretty good explanation. http://www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/~dkoks/Faq/General/hot_water.html

24VDC 1Amp means that your power supply is rated for a MAXIMUM current output of 1 amp!

We have two DC motors that wear the brushes out about every 3 weeks. What would cause this? The commutator "looks OK". Thanks for any suggestions.
