New gun

So is my current design good?

[Crna Legija]

i read a couple pages back you typed you need a pipe 500psi max. just wanna see what pressure are you planing to run this at. because even 100psi can be very dangers if your not careful.

and with your last valve drawing are the seals on the rod or on the valve body?

[nadjatee1996]

My air tank is 656 PSI max, so around 500? The seals are on the rod, Probably gonna be a rubber washer or something

[ilovefire]

how are you planing to attach your seals? 500psi is a lot of pressure, it can easily blow something up that isnt made properly

[nadjatee1996]

Proepoxy xD, epoxy putty that hardens to something as hard as STEEL

[Lockednloaded]

what keeps air from just going out the back of your valve? Why don't you just buy a pushbutton valve off of McMater-Carr?

[ilovefire]

i can tell you now that it wont work, the front seal will come of strait away

[nadjatee1996]

Why won't it work?How can I make it work? How can I make the seal in front not blow away?

Oh, and problem solved xD

[Lockednloaded]

your seals are definitely going to blow off if all you're doing is epoxying washers in place. For a design like this you'd need orings and oring grooves

[nadjatee1996]

I got these http://www.wilsonmfgco.com/fasteners/images/OR3200.jpg, whats oring groove?

[Technician1002]

Same as o ring gland.

[nadjatee1996]

Still confused...

[Lockednloaded]

Have you done any searching on the website or even google? The bulk of the questions you have in this thread could be answered if you did a little of your own work

[Technician1002]

Spoon feed..

O ring gland.. the slot in which the o ring resides.


Properly designed and when placed inside a cylinder, it prevents the o ring from blowing off the piston, or rod.

O ring is too big to fit through the space between the piston and cylinder wall. This keeps the ring from blowing off.

[nadjatee1996]

Only results when I searched up o ring was deals, a what is an o ring page and a crap load of store, and I basically get it, its like a space that the oring can fit into, but can't get out of once sealed. Also, the seal will have to be an o ring? I was thing of wall->o-ring-> washer to minimize air leakage, I'll create some sort of enclosure for so they all wouldn't blow away
