I'm looking for some direction on a project I'm working on; it's essentally a 6 legged walking machine (this is half of it)
I'd like to design a *simple* hydraulic system that would, for right now, turn a geared shaft forward & reverse, with a high-torque servo running a fwd-neutral-rev valve; all in very low/high torque fashion.
I've got a B&S 6 horse motor, I'm asking for some input as to what components I'd need. I'm thinking I'd use the B&S to drive a pump, which in turn would drive a hydraulic motor, (spool valve for control), then off to the shaft, with gear reduction to my final drive of the legs.
Would "wood splitter" type components be suitable, considering I'm driving ahydraulic motor vs. a cylinder?
Thanks fo rany input- Paul
