Hey all, so I have a marine mounts setup for a raymarine rotary drive. Not wanting to spend $2k, but also not having space for a clumsy mechanical belt clutch, I was wondering about doing a hydraulic gear method.
This would give me a native clutch via the pump, and setup as though it were a linear actuator.
Can anyone help sanity check this - especially wrt strength/durability, and speed of pump translating into necessary speed of wheel? For example, I own an octopus pump that pumps 1 liter /minute which equates to .0044 gallons or ~1 cubic inch per second.
This hydraulic gear pump spins (I believe) at .6 cubic inches per revolution. So I could turn the shaft at ~1.7 rps (edit: rounds per second, not minute)? Do you think that is a workable speed?
Thanks for any input
