Seaching for DC motor to be used as a human lift

AI Thread Summary
A suitable DC motor for a human lift should be capable of lifting 900 ft-lbs and include a brake with a splined shaft. A winch is recommended as it typically exceeds this lifting capacity and comes pre-equipped with necessary components like a cable, guide, and gearing. This makes winches more efficient and easier to implement than standalone DC motors, which would require additional engineering. For purchasing options, links to companies that sell these winches would be beneficial. Utilizing a winch can streamline the design and functionality of the lift system.

a winch is probably your best bet. there are plenty that will lift in excess of what you are looking for. the benefit of a winch over just a dc motor is that it will typically be dc powered and already have a cable, guide, and proper gearing- all things you'd have to engineer on your own otherwise- making it well suited for a lifting machine.

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...
