Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michael_S185" data-source="post: 111099" data-attributes="member: 18677"><p>Hello again! I wrote this last week, but was not able to finish it: Yesterday was a good day with the project. I disconnected the actuators and the distance plates. The plates are holding the seals of the valves so don't try to run without them like I first tried! The plates should be on when you try to build your mechanic linkage. This part now is the new one: So in this plates are about 22,5mm cylinder wholes that the shaft moves in and out. The shaft is 12,5mm and there is a whole to fix with a little fixing shaft. I just took a pipe with 12,5mm inside and about 2,5mm walls and I made a 5mm whole like the one on the actuator. I also made a thin pipe with about 19mm inside and 22mm outside that should be an outside cylinder body that will not allow the fixing bolt in the first pipe to go out. You have to cut the pipe longer, so the inner pipe can move like a piston in it the whole way up and down. Rest work is some welding to make the linkage and is kind of individual work, but not hard to do. I was able to connect the one valve with a threaded rod to the right foot pedal. I made it this way so I can better build it out later and not need to cut it. The other valve is kind of tricky because you have a long way to go over the middle of the machine and you need to make everything very tight, so you don't lose any movement on the way to the valve. I actually was not able to make it work proper because of that and made a hand linkage on the right side so I can use the machine now. The rest will be done maybe in two weeks. The electric was very easy to do. The valve is on the down side of the pump and there go two wires to it. I took a 12V switched power for this one from one of the wires going to the ACS controller… You also have to unlock the foot pedals. For this I just used the switch for hand/food control. There is a 12V switched power there that you just need to connect to the foot lock with a short wire. The foot lock is actually good while you build your linkage so you always know when you are in the middle of the pedal way. That's it! Sorry for my bad English, but I hope to help some guys that have the same problem like me! I also now think about making an "easy way" to use the actuators, but this will be another topic! Thanks for the help!</p></blockquote><p></p>
