    Peristaltic Pump as a Motor?

    Thanks Mike. Your insight has spurred my thinking about the interplay of frictions and pressures relating to this proposed system. For instance... the large diameter and thin wall tube may indeed increase the net torque applied to the rotor, however that tube would not be able to hold as much...

    Peristaltic Pump as a Motor?

    I have my reasons for wanting to use it- they are proprietary to the project I am working on, and can't be discussed. That said... does anyone have any hard input as to whether or not it will work. I appreciate the 'gut' responses, but I can make a guess; I was hoping for potentially more...

    Peristaltic Pump as a Motor?

    Can you use a peristaltic pump as a peristaltic motor? i.e. Could one apply pressure to a tube of a peristaltic 'pump' and thereby cause rotational motion of the rotor?

    3hp shaft design challenge

    Mike that was helpful- thanks! We don't do any manufacturing in house- it is all contracted, but yes, good thought.

    3hp shaft design challenge

    Hey guys/gals(?)... thanks for the replies. DVD: No, this is not for my side-consultancy. It is for my day job. And to your 'engineering study' comment... I am not interested in an engineering study so much as I am interested in ideas TO study. I'm so early in the conceptualization, I want to...

    3hp shaft design challenge

    DVD, GC: As if zero topics or advice on this forum ever relate to one's work. Does anyone have input? Or am I ostracized for discussing a matter from the office?

    3hp shaft design challenge

    DF, This is something I am toiling with at work, but I can't define "work" further. I'm not sure why that is relevant. Does your interest in a challenge depend on its source? I could give more details, but I don't want to taint/constrain/contaminate anyone's thinking. This is a new product...

    3hp shaft design challenge

    Hi guys/gals, First post. Hope it is in the right category... this should be fun. Given: I need to design a drive shaft to transmit 3hp at 400rpm. It is 70" long and supported by bearings at each end with flex couplings- assume no induced moment. It has a simple 15lb lateral load right in the...
