Pneumatic flipper with no buffer tank

[maddox10]

Total weight of such a setup, with 12 oz bottle and 40mm bore*80mm stroke ram, less than 2.5 kg.

Turned down the fire extinguisher valve bottle, made a connector to put a paintball bottle directly to the valve. Replaced the burst disk with a PRV and dump valve.

Now waiting on this servo to control the thing.

I too have got 2 extinguishers, I've added connectors on each end, tried it by hand on the compressor and it works brilliantly! Might get that servo too, seems good

Any luck with your setup maddox? or eventorizen?

With getting the ram back down, It previously said to drill a 1.5mm hole, where is best recommended to drill this?

Any finally anyone bringing this setup to the champs?

Thanks

The setup is still waiting on a PRV/Dump connection, and the mounting of the servo.
There ain't anybody interested to buy it, and I don't need it.

Also, I have enough work without building this bit of ancient history.

Ok cool, what's a PRV connection?

[maddox10]

PRV, mandated Pressure Relief Valve.
An automatic valve that vents gas if the pressure is higher than the set pressure , in this case 1000psi. Kind of safetyvalve.
