    CNC motor Coupler Death and Repair

    Here in Portugal they call it "Seal and Glue". It's a very high strength acrylic sealing/gluing substitute for silicone and can be painted. It's used in the construction business. The Amazon example is just one of the brands. https://amzn.eu/d/fQpSj7g

    CNC motor Coupler Death and Repair

    To temporary repair those, I assemble in place as it would be normally make a little tape mold around it to keep the distances and inject some of those high strength non silicone adhesive/sealant through a small hole on the tape with a vent on the other side. They stay flexible.

    New to me Mill

    Torque on VFD controlled 3~motors stays constant over the whole frequency until line frequency. AC motors have a linear V/F curve so, when you run s 400V 50Hz motor at 25Hz, the motor will be supplied with 200V. if you want to maintain the torque up to 100Hz you would need to supply the motor...

    Funny to see, what I presume is the cable splice jump around from row to row as it moves along the pulleys :D

    Decals/Logo

    Used to make decals out of magazine ads. 3 to 4 coats of water resistant wood glue over the image and then soak the paper in warm water to rub the paper from the back. The result was the image sticking to the glue film that could be trimmed and glued to the place you wanted the decal. I guess...

    What do you think?

    Since the screw is belt driven, you can run 2 shafts in th hopper above the screw with some paddles driven by a small pulley on the main motor. This would stir the material above breaking down the bridge

    Electronic glo-plug ignition?

    Elektor electronics magazine had a special glow plug regulator that could deal with "flooded" glow plugs. Just a simple circuit with a power transistor and op-amp that monitored the PTC characteristics of the glow plug. It was powered by the 12v battery of the starter box.

    4 cylinder/4 stroke mystery engine

    For 20cc 4 cylinder a small 5 cc engine carburetor should be enough. You only draw 1 cylinder at a time

    I think that is used to calculate compression ratio by measuring the chamber's volume.

    What the heck?

    I run 50 Hz 4 pole motors to 120 Hz all the time. 3~ 230 motors can be run with a 400 V VFD with the correct parameters. The power will increase linearly up to 86.6 Hz when the motor is supplied with 400 V and then stay constant until 120 Hz. Never had a problem this way with motors up to 2,2...
