AI Thread Summary
Adding a soft starter to a DC series motor-driven air compressor may impact the lubrication of its components. The compressor relies on the splashing of lubricating oil from the delivered compressed air, which is affected by the reduced speed during the soft starter's initial phase. With the motor starting at less than 1500 RPM, the lubrication may not be sufficient during the brief starting period. This raises concerns about potential overheating and wear on the male and female screws due to inadequate lubrication. The discussion highlights a lack of responses, indicating uncertainty in the community about the implications of this modification.

we have an air comporessor driven by dc series motor direct start the the system work and stop many times as the air decrease in the main resirvoir , thus the motor temperature get more hot
as an electirical engineer i want to protect the motor starting by add soft starter to it
But the male and female screw lubricating oil depend up on the delivered compressed air which splashing the oil over there
And when i add the starter the speed at starting period is less than 1500rpm and the air decrease the starting period may be afew second
Is this affec on the lubricating of male and female of the comporessor?

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
