Hydraulic Control Upgrade for an Enerpac Pump
We have a an old Enerpac pump in the lab where the Hydraulic controls were only Forward and Reverse. They were controlled with servovalves that open and close when 110 voltage is applied. I used timer relays to be

Closed Loop Chilled Water System for an Enerpac Pump
We needed to cool a hydraulic pump because we were going to run it longer than specs would allow. I made brackets to mount a tank to a stand. Then I used hose fittings to hook up the tank to

Metal Concrete Mold for Scaling Specimens
These molds were made to create uniform concrete specimens for ASTM scaling experiments. Angle iron for the height was used on the ends. Square plates that were drilled and tapped were welded to the ends of the angle iron. A

Soils Box C-Channel Rack
The face of the soils box is a bunch of C-Channels that bolt the the face of the box. The students work their way up as the compact soil so it is handy to be able to assemble the

Metal Concrete Mold for Freeze Thaw Specimens
I made this metal concrete mold out of C channels and a Bridgeport Mill. All of the parts were laid out so each piece could be interchangeable. All of the mounting points were drilled out with a #7 drill bit and

Motor and Fan Replacement in a Despatch Oven
I replaced this motor and squirrel cage fan out of this Despatch Oven. The circulation fan over the years had become encrusted in dust causing it to be out of balance. This wrecked the bearings on the fan. I

Motor Upgrade for an LA Abrasion Machine
This LA Abrasion Machine had an aging motor on it. I picked something modern that would accept the same shaft diameter for the gear. Then I ordered an equivalent replacement knowing that the frame was going to be an inch
