    VFD operation on high inertia loads

    hi there about your centrifuge braking why dont you use a hydraulic drive very simple and no problem braking to come down to plough speed +-70rpm works like a dream i have done two latest one using load sensing with speed feed back for spot on speed control at start ramp to charge speed ramp to...

    rod buckling calculation

    hi there eulers formula can be adapted for cylinders, Fcr = pi2 x E X I/L2 ----- (eULERS ) sub. pi x d4/64 for I ( solid round shaft ) and 2.07 x 10*5 foe E (steel ) Fcr = pi*3 x d*4 x 2.07 x 10*5/l*2 x 64 then Fcr = d*4 x 10*5/l*2 then d*4 = Fcr x l*2/1 x 10*5 d = 4th root of Fcr x l*2/1 x...

    [b]Cooling System for Fluid Power Application[b]

    hi there, a few tips hopefully they will be of help. New system. 1. pump loss 15% of input power. 2. motor loss 15% of input power. 3. R/V loss BTU/HR average ( 1.5 x PSI x GPM ) 4. Flow control loss use press diff across in to out as PSI in calculation. 5. Press reducing loss if any use same...
