Right I am thinking of rebuilding my flipper with a fatter shorter ram.
I am thinking of a 100mm bore 80mm stoke running at 10bar.
To keep it as compact as possible I want to make it my self by using a piece of aluminium tube then having a piece of 20mm hdpe as end caps. I plan on drilling holes in the corners of the hdpe and using threaded bar to hold the end caps together with the tube in between.
Then make a aluminium plunger and then weld a peice of aluminium rod to the plunger.
Would this work? What thicknesses would I need? How would I get a good seal between the pipe and the end caps and between the plunger and tube?
Thanks,
Max
