[PSUBS-MAILIST] Manipulator

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,why not just use air if the pneumatic cylinders are rated for 150 psi.If they are rated for 150 psi it would be assumed that their mechanical strengthwould match the load they can lift with 150 psi also.Is there any advantage other than the o ring working both ways to stop wateringress, as you have said previously. Does anyone else use them in placeof hydraulic cylinders?Alan

No problems, Gamma has air cylinders and at 1,000 feet the hydraulic pump is set at 1,100 psi.  Your K sub can have a pressure setting of 500 or less and work just fine. Remember, your not lifting a lot just the arm plus a bit.

 Do you
 have any problem with over pressure though? The pnuematic
 cylinders are rated to 150psi with air and 1000 psi with
 oil. Thanks,Scott

 hi Scott
 use a
 hydraulic pump just the same as if you used hydraulic
 cylinders

                            Hank,I know you
 said to use pnumatic cylinders  for the manipulator arm.
 What kind of pump do you
 use?Thanks,Scott Waters
