Does the engine have and AND20000 drive pad
on it? Does it turn fast enough to stroke
the SD20 to full output (4000 rpm). Is it
stressed sufficiently for extracting the
horsepower required to power the SD-20?
Suggest you contact B&C at 316-283-8000 and
discuss your design goals with them.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your response. The engine has the standard vacuum pump
mounting pad which I think is the AND20000 you mentioned. We are
researching the output speed of this drive. We have not thought about
how this drive is stressed. That is an excellent point to consider. We
will investigate this further along with calling B&C. Mostly, I am
fishing to see if this has been done before with a radial engine in an
attempt to keep from reinventing the wheel when we go for a field
approval. Thanks again for your help.
Best wishes for a Happy Holiday season!!
Kent

If it has been done, I suspect that B&C has a
high probability of knowing about it.

My Breaker panel will be hinged at the bottom, the idea being future maintenance,
you just have to tip the panel out to get to the bus bars. In order to support
the wire bundles I want to use a cushion clamp attached to the bus bar.
I have a a tie for two rows of breakers that is held together with #8 screws,
this is a convenient place for a cushion clamp. You can see the clamp in the
photo.
The clamp is totally cushioned, (WDG type) so the wires will not touch any metal,
but there would be voltage running trough the metal part of the clamp. I wonder
if this could cause problems? It would take more work but I can fashion
a standoff attached to the panel to make the same support. Just wonder if the
easy route will work.
Thanks for the help
