One of my favorite passages from the Parker O-ring Handbook: "Very high pressures can be sealed without back-up rings if metal-to-metal contact (practically zero clearance) of the gland parts can be maintained. Instances have been reported of sealing pressures of 13,600 Bar (200,000 psi) with a 70 Shore A durometer Oring without back-up rings." 200,000 psi !!!

"thought I was wrong, turns out I was mistaken" -- friggin genious!

PNP vs NPN explanation for AvE - NPN control signal if shorted to ground will see this as a "true" input. PNP needs voltage applied to it to see it as a input. Much more rare in logic control as a failure. If a wire gets cut and shorted, NPN says "Thats a go Houston" and PNP just sits there with a negative attitude. As for sensors, a PNP sensor will blow the output of the sensor if grounded. NPN does nothing. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

When I imagine AvE's hyrdolic bartending robot... it will move the house around the glass in order to fill it with the beer.

the bachelor party comment did it for me

There are 5 teeth at the end of the chopper shaft that spin past the proximity sensors. That means each is offset by 360/5= 72°. Half of 72° is 36°. Note that 72+36= 108°. This is close to the observed angle between the sensors (110°). Assuming that 108° is the actual angle between the two sensors, what it means is that one sensor is reading every full pass of a tooth, and the other is measuring the corresponding half pass. *Two sensors effectively doubles the sensitivity of the device* (as well as providing flow direction information).

+Penfold 'OoO' At first I thought this was the case as well, but if you look more closely you can see that there are 6 teeth at the end of the shaft and not 5, so the math is 60+30=90. Strangely it's not that, so there must be some other reason for the offset amount.

@jozafax

+Penfold 'OoO' There are 6 teeth, look at 12:19 , so 90 deg would work for what you describe. If this is the case and i believe you are right, there might be other reasons for the odd angle - looking at 8:01 i am thinking of: the chopper shaft is off centre to the housing, so in order to leave enough meat between the fastener and sensor holes, the sensor hole is angled but the sonsors still "see" the rotor as if at 90 deg. Either that or the engineer is just fucking with the guy that has to make it.

+JerTheRipper Damn... I think you're right. The reflected light in the 4-5min section of the video made it look like there were 5 teeth, but lots of pausing and squinting later and it does indeed look like 6. A 90° angular offset makes sense for 6 teeth. Given the precision engineering of this device, I don't think they would have settled for non-optimal positioning of sensors, so it must serve a different purpose (than resolution enhancement). Perhaps direction-sensing is it's only function?

@JerTheRipper

8 жыл бұрын

+Penfold 'OoO' The only thing I can think of is perhaps they're set up in such a way so that both sensors aren't "off" at the same time for some sort of error checking (i.e., if both of your sensors read low you know that one has failed), while still maintaining the offset for direction checking.

@penfoldooo2160

+jozafax Agreed about 6 - my mistake. One other idea that just popped into my mind is that the company, instead of making two different sensor housings - one with a single sensor for uni-directional flow, and one with two sensors for bi-directional flow - just produces one product which caters to the most complex case (bi-directional, thus two sensors) and leaves it up to the customer as to whether they want to use the second sensor for a specific application. So this might simply be a "product line rationalising measure"?

Three years later and I just did the same thing

We used similar hydraulic pumps on WWII submarines I served on. Compression type..we called them IMO pumps...meaning I move oil!!

Prior job, I worked with some high pressure systems that put the working fluid up to 125,000psi, within error less than 0.02% at any pressure level. It was marvelous equipment, the seals were mostly steel washers with a slight cone to them that would crush at specified torque, either on a shoulder or v-shaped mating surfaces. When working with high pressures, especially when dumping pressure onto sensors or otherwise (as in a calibration rig), resonance is a huge factor in accuracy/precision/repeat-ability. Maintaining the exact same cavity volume is critical, as even the smallest variations have exponential impact on results (ideal gas law PV=nRT and Hemholtz resonance).

Nothing warms the cockles of one's heart like the precision-machined parts of industrial hydraulics.

I love watching his vids on how different parts of complex hydraulic systems work. I'm a crane mechanic so I deal with hydraulic systems a LOT. One cool thing we have is load sensors on the lift cylinder that reads pressure input from both sides of the cylinder calculate how much weight is being picked. It uses other sensors to figure out where in the load chart the crane is and let's the operator know exactly how much weight they are rated for and what they have picked.

Amazing piece of hardware, absolutely beautiful. I actually have a degree in robotics, and was lucky enough back in the day to work on a Cincinnati Millicron T3 6 axis hydraulic robot. What a monster. It was slow, but massively powerful. It had nowhere near this level of refinement. I think the reason it never caught on, though, was due to the redundancy and expense of the 6th axis, and the laughably slow (cutting edge at the time) controller. I've been around a while, and have worked on a variety of fun toys, so I have seen quite a lot. Yours is one of the few channels that I actually am learning from; keep up the good work.

I dig the way you're completely unheeding the boundaries of of niches. Elon Musk said it nicely: "Frankly, I think most people can learn a lot more than than they think they can. They sell themselves short without trying. IT IS important to view knowledge as a sort of semantic tree -- make sure you understand the fundamental principles, ie the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang on to." I think dissolving boundaries between chemists, mathematicians, biologists, and astrophysicists is what will allow a crazy explosion of development. It's all the same physics, periodic table, and planet were experiencing them on together. It's time we start thinking about the sciences as one. We're on our way there, I think.What about you guys?

For a mechanical engineer, this is just eye candy. Love it.

I think the purpose for the two switches is similar to what you thought. The flow is unidirectional, but the shaft rotates both in and out as the pressure changes, so it will trigger switch 1 then switch 2 when the shaft extends and switch 2 then switch 1 when the shaft returns.

The headplate (for lack of a better term) is pinned to ensure that the rotor-to-casing clearance is set and maintained like in other positive displacement machines like lobe blowers or screw compressors.

Every time I hear you give a tool a new name, it takes me a few seconds before I figure it out, but then I'm laughing for a good few more. "Thumb detector" is fantastic.

You are indeed a mechanical sorcerer, good sir. An unending font of knowledge.

The fit and finish of those things. amazing!

thanks for taking the time as always really appreciate your work :)

I didn't know it was my birthday already. This is what I'm talkin about. Keep up the good work mate, chooch on.

Such an awesome vid. Love these teardowns man!

The reason the proximity switches are 90° apart is to give extra resolution out of the hexagonal trigger. With only one sensor, you get 6 pulses per rotation, but if you add an extra sensor at an offset, you get 12 pulses per rotation, thus doubling the resolution.

If you're wondering, the "boona end" o-rings are nitrile (Buna-N) o-rings.

Hi AvE, i think the resolution of this thing is at least 48 pulses per rev, because you also take falling and rising edges of the signal into account, which basically gives you 2 digit wide quaternary output ( four states of two sensors ). also, state of the first sensor should be passed to the other sensor or the other way and that gives you direction of the flow. There is also a possibility that those are bipolar transistor based sensors, and if so, they will give you sinusoidal-ish signal and if you feed this signal to the ADC instead of the logic input, the resolution will be almost infinite.

Greets from Austria, Styria :) Love your vids AvE

Hey man, love your videos. If you're setting up emergency stops you set them up such that if the PLC is seeing voltage, the e-stop registers as unpressed.

Interesting note about nordlocks. I just saw a video about them a while ago. the angle of the steps is just slightly bigger than the angle of the thread of the fastener.

Thanks to this channel I now go about all day saying how skookum that thing is, or how this thing is chooching along nicely...

"If you don't know what tool you need - you don't need it." Impact Driver (and bits) comes to mind as a common exception. Hex-Bit socket set would have made your life easier in this video. In general, the tools that have less common / more specialized variations can fly under the radar of the uninitiated. A magnetic Pick-up and cheap 4in1 SnapRing pliers would be nice too. ...All stuff you can usually do without but sure makes the job easier.

Pnp sets indicator VCC to the output pin of the indicator and NPN pulls the output pin to GND. So whe nthe indicator indicates, other will set the output pin to one (PNP) and other will pull it to ground (NPN). BTW, great channel!

"Skookum as frig" so skookum that it made him NOT swear... Impressive!

Another education Provided by AvE! Thanks bud! Had a few cold ones after finishing at the reloading bench and watched this with the sweetheart. She laughed her ass off!

There are two sensors, or should I say, two sensor positions, for various reasons and the meters generally come in various configurations from the factory. 1. You guessed correctly, they are often used as a form of error checking - if the magnet stops under/near one sensor, physical vibration (and many other environmental factors) can give spurious signals. Having the metering system require a confirmation pulse from a second sensor gives far more accurate results. 2. Having multiple sensors can allow two or more discrete/redundant systems with a vested interest in knowing what that meter is reading. Some systems require NPN (will sink a signal to ground), PNP (supply a signal pulse) reed switch or an AC waveform so there will be factory options for any or all combinations which may even be reflected in the serial number. 3. While you *can* use the twin outputs for direction analysis, these geared or screwed positive displacement meters tend to be machined to be uni-directional. (Did you notice the arrow sticker below the label?) I have no experience with these high pressure meters, and would be interested in another video exploring the engineering of keeping the pressure inside through the glaring weak spot of the sensor ports and even where the magnet is mounted. In smaller and much lower pressure units, they just mount a magnet directly to the gear and sense it through a thin wall of aluminium. And as for the strainers, they are a good touch because as you can imagine, if a bit of welding slag, welding wire, sand, gravel, masking tape, or a screw will fuck that beautiful engineering up real good. (All real life examples I have removed from meter innards).

pnp and npn tester to the type of transistor, in particular the type of base emitter voltage that is required to open the electronic valve to let the pixies flow. pnp requires a negative relative to the emitter, whereas npn requires a positive to trigger.

17:00 its not a diffuser. It serves to improve a laminar flow in the fluid.

It would be great to work with this guy in the shop, new technical terms would be learned everyday! SHMOO!! Well done, love the vids.
