Hi Terry,

30 Volts is fine ...the valve coils are rated @ 24v continious and youll be just clicking it on and off.

A ram of the style made by Mario would be my choice for you.

Terry,

maddox10@hotmail.com if you want to email or chat.

On the Burkert 5404 type. The body was tested by Mike lambert (Dantomkia) and it was proof to 200bar +.The main problem is the sleight variation to operating pressure between the valves; Some of these valves will happely control 55bar@24V to the coil, others wil fail. But overvolting to 30-36V makes the coil stronger and will open the burkert valve at a way higher pressure (above the 1000psi-69 bar RW limit)

Hi Terry
A Mario Ram is a hand built full pressure ram that can be made to your exact specification (bore / stroke ).
These rams have been fitted in various bots thoughout the years and have been found to both reliable and very effective (gravity bot for example)For more information PM mario in belguim or catch him on MSN to discuss your needs ..

Cheers Tony

Now now boys!

Mario ive seen the pics of some of your rams and they look the nads,just how much wonga are we talking about for exactly the same as
the 6 kg 100mm bore 180mm stroke Gravity III ram, to make things easy as you have already made at least 1, im sure I could fit it in
I wonder what strokes other robots are using
must be close to 180mm

nothing wrong with good old low pressure

Has anyone tried graphite powder in their HP rams? I use lanolin in my ram ATM, but I wonder if the dust that gets stuck in there will increase the friction.

i use lithium grease has lube in the ram good stuff, sticks to the side walls and is a very good grease
