[PSUBS-MAILIST] Pressure proof motor

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

 Tim, My air compensation system works so well I did not bother to follow up on that idea.  I need air compensation for the arm also, so one system takes care of both.Hank

 Hank, how did your pressure sealed motor with the magnetic coupling to the propellor work out?

I don't plan to prep the shaft surface at all. According to the Parker documentation, the seal will polish the shaft so that it improves with use. We shall see! We're planning to run extended tests in an instrumented pressure chamber. Eventually, of course, the shaft would wear out. But consider how many hours we put on our subs compared to the hours an avid fisherman would. At least on my part, I probably put as many hours on it in a year as a fisherman does in a day or two.

Alec,I just had a heads up from Cliff on this.What sort of shaft preparation do you need?Also are the shafts likely to deteriorate causing an undetectable ingress of water.My thoughts are to keep the air compensation as we seem to be perfecting that. And with the over- air pressure any failure will be visible with air leaking out.Alan
