electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

Hi together!

I just found the following 12-Volts spindles from a small german supplier:
http://www.cti-modellbau.de/index.ph...dde2ac0c7efb9f
These parts are specially made for BRUDER conversions, but I´m sure they fit into other models, too.

The prices are inclusive the speed controller. No end limit switches are necassery...
The speed controller is programmed in that way, that it shuts off the motor when the spindle reaches the end position and the courrant strength exceeds a limited value. Great idea in my opinion...

Here are some examples:

Hope you enjoy it...

looks interesting

looks good wonder if those would work on my scraper???? lol

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

Under "details" you find dimensions and power...
They push about 45 N.

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

donno what 45 n is compared to psi or bar

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

...45 Newton....that makes 4,5 kilogramm....about 9,5 punds.

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

thank you for clearin that up don't sound like it has enough umpf for what i need

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

Would like to try a set on my folding disc implement.

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

Has anyone one ordered any of these? I was thinking about ordering one for a dump truck..I just hate to get it and it not do what im looking for it to do. I guess I will have to get the dump bed built and work out the weight it will have to lift fully loaded to see if it will do as I need??

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

What are the dimensions of the dump bed?
With the power of about 10 pounds per cylinder it won´t be easy I think...

I also thought about using them for a folding field cultivator.

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

the bed dimensions will be 7" inch wide, 6" inch tall, and 14"long...is that 588 cubic inches??
it would be somewhere around 2 1/2 gallons which in fluid weighs 20 lbs..So if by using 2 cylinders doubles the power then 2 should do me fine..I suck at anything math related Im more right brain LOL..

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

That would make about 30 pounds of dry (!!) dirt...
I Guess that won´t work.

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

The cylinders on a dump bed do not have to suspend the entire weight of what's in the bed - a portion is supported at the bed pins and load just pivots around them. Depends on attachment point of the cylinders relative to the bed pivot pins, bed overhang at the rear, center of mass of actual load, etc.

These cylinders might well do the job, but many variables have to be considered to make that determination.

im building a bull dozer do you think these would work for the blade im a newbie here first build thanks they look like they will

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

those prices scare me but still interesting!

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

I Guess to lift a dozer blade they will work. Maybe the supplier can give you more details...

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

what if I were to build the dump bed adn then use a spring scale to tip the bed with a full load of dirt in it wouldnt that tell my the weight it is lifting? I would attach the spring scale where the cylinder would attach...It seems like a simple way to figure it or am I missing smething??thanks

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
 

That might help, but as Ken alredy mentioned above it depends also on some other details.

Re: electric "cylinders" fron CTI/Germany
