    Pump Venturi
AI Thread Summary
A faster valve can significantly improve the cycling speed of a venturi pump. The discussion focuses on the need for a solenoid valve or a quicker alternative to achieve rapid on/off cycling. The user specifically requires the ability to create short, sharp bursts of air, aiming for a cycling rate of about seven times per second. Recommendations for valve types or regulators that can meet this speed requirement are sought. Optimizing valve selection is crucial for achieving the desired performance in venturi pump applications.

I am looking to cycle on/off rapidly a venturi pump. I am using a solenoid valve but is there a recommendation for a quicker valve type or regulator? Speed is my most important requirement. Thank you.

What fluid are you pumping, gas or liquid?
What is your driver fluid, gas or liquid?
I presume you want to generate short, sharp bursts of driver fluid. How sharp?
 
Air. Yes, I need to create very short, sharp bursts of air into a venturi vacuum pump. I need to cycle about 7 times per second.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
