Phantom59 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) This is my second bridge-layer. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/307076 I tried to use the KISS ('Keep it simple stupid')this time I only used 3 XL motors, 2 for drive and 1 for lifting the bridge The idea for the lifting gear came from a World War 2 Churchill tank Bridge Layer http://www.strijdbewijs.nl/tanks/churchill/speceng.htm photo at the bottom of the page Edited January 30, 2012 by Phantom59 Quote
apemax Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Very nice bridge layer Phantom59. A video of it working would be nice. Well done. Quote

DLuders Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Good MOC! It's hard to generate enough torque to lift a bridge that big: Quote
timslegos Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks for the Pics DLuders. WOw i am impressed! A while back i tried to make a bridge layer as well but it failed because of weight. Nice job! tim Quote

Phantom59 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I have added a four view drawing (using LDraw) of the gearing of the lifting arm http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/307076 I left one side out on purpose for a better view Edited January 31, 2012 by Phantom59 Quote
DLuders Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I can see now how it generates the torque: Quote
