New to this but looking for some advice. I am buildng an engine dyno as a bit of a personal project to test some engines that I build . I am converting an old manual type dyno to try and display the feedback from the sensors and possibly control one valve. I am planning to use the usb1208ls from...
Thanks for your replies. I have repaired this shaft with a welding process from eutectic 680S rods and so far so good, done around 10 races wth it and so far so good. Thanks again
I am looking at doing a repair on a automotive gearbox output shaft. It is common practice within the sport to shorten the output shafts on this particular gearbox by cutting and welding the output shaft on the gearbox. I have a shaft to repair which has broken at the weld, This weld has been...
I appreciate your concerns, But the unit I am discussing is made from an aluminum casing and I will deal with any corrosion or wear problems in time. But basically what I am asking if anybody can explain the fundemental differnces between the two items if any??
Can you elaborate on the "this worries me" please After discussions with the manufacturers these items I am looking at can also be run with water for mining applications, And that is the reason I am posting a question here to try and find out why this cannot be used and what the fundemental...
I think I will go down the route of a plc. I have a Seimens S5 PLC which I can aquire a Scada package for , Then I would have a few analouge inputs and outputs available and the system would be expandable. I can then use the graphics editing software to create my own graphics for displaying any...
Your description is exactly what I am in the process of making at the moment, But how can you control the level of water within the brake/pump? By controlling the water flow on the output side/bottom of the pump? or controlling the pressure in? or controlling the flow in?. If the water flow was...
Well done ,This is the type of unit I am looking for . May require 3-4 inputs and one output but should be on the right track now. Have you any experience with displaying these signals graphically on the PC eg through a scada type package?
Its surely quite hard to control the amount of liquid that is in the coupling when it is rotating ? Any idea how they do it in a proper water brake dyno?
I am looking for a way to read and manipulate some 4-20ma signals from my PC. ( Basically I am building a Engine Dyno and looking for a way to read and trend the signals from it). I presume there is a way to connect 4-20ma signals and convert them to RS232 which I can then analyse through my PC...
Sorry should have made myself a bit clearer. What I am looking at is a fluid coupling which would normally be placed between a motor and a gearbox to reduce the strain on a gearbox during motor DOL startup.these are normally filled with oil and sealed with a solder cap which will blow if the...
Just looking for some advie on an engine dyno I am trying to make. looking into alternative load devices, Water brake AC motor/invertor. Can anybody offer any advice on sourcing a water brake capable of around 170 HP ? Also can anybody offer some advice on the use of a fluid coupling converted...
