Default WTC Piston Tanks/Motors

<div class="smallfont">WTC Piston Tanks/Motors</div><! icon and titl><!essag><div id="post_message_13521314">
I am designing my wtc with two aluminum 1,000ml piston tanks sized the same diameter as the 4"O.D. ploycarbonate pipe.The aluminum piston tank end-plugs will be machined with bajonet rings to attach the polycarb pipe on each end so the wtc will have clear polycarb in between the tanks and on each end of the wtc.I willanodize with the type III with PTFE for my aluminum parts.
You are probably asking how the motors will fit inside the piston tank diameter.I have sourced out a hollow shaft brushless motors that can drive any sort of threaded rod and has position,speed,reverse and forward sensing built into the motor.The motor is only 2-1/4" in diameter x 2-1/2" length and weighs 7oz. The voltage input is 5vdc-24vdc.The hollow shaftis 10mmin diameter and it has allen set screws for mounting your size of threaded coupling for rotating the threaded piston rod.</div><! messag>
