Thanks again for all the input so I definitely understand what everyone is saying so then is seems like cutting the cam up in 3 pieces and machining a bearing block for it to sit on so the lobe is directly under the rocker arm and possibly running it with a dc motor with a speed controller would...
Yes I've seen all this but I'm working with a 1283 ci 6 cylinder the valve face is around 2" and the stem is like 1/2" diameter because the increased stroke and bore the compression ratio is at its max any more would pre-detonate the fuel before the spark plugs does. I had to eliminate the cam...
200F, yes that's what I'm trying to eliminate is a camshaft in a engine and operate the valves with a linear solenoid and depending on whether I could use the valve stem as a core or I could still use the rocker arm as a force multiplier and put the solenoid under it I should be able to reduce...
I'm fighting a brain tumor unfortunately so some days I have bits and pieces I can't remember, I know more turns of wire would give me more force, I can't remember how the size of the wire affects it. I can't think of the correct terminology to search for a formula right now either.
Hello, thanks in advance, I do many many things, jack of all trades but master of none. Would some one be willing to help me with some formulas and calcs for making my own linear solenoid? I can give the final specs I'm after then I could use advice on materials and other variables.
I'd like...
