| |
|
| |
| The Power Cube, Version 15.6 is a powerful, portable hydraulic power supply that operates efficiently and with minimal noise. The latest design employs twin 18 HP engines and fixed-displacement hydraulic pumps that have proven to work well with OSE machines and for other compatible hydraulic machines. This version includes a frame of 4" x 4" tubular steel that provides a strong structural frame for mounting other power cubes or attachments.
| |
|
| |
| The Power Cube marks the next level of quick connect modularity, making it easy to assemble, use and maintain and is standard for all hydraulic equipment in the Global Village Construction Set.
| |
|
| |
| NOTE: This document is still under development and is not ready yet for "Prime Time" fabrication. This note will be removed when it has reached a "comfortable" level of completion.

|
| |
| The Power Cube is a modular design. The modules are built separately, then combined for the complete Power Cube. The order of module fabrication is not important, but they are all necessary to complete a Power Cube.
| |
|
| |
| Module fabrication procedures are detailed in the following document:

Development
Published the latest design in Sketchup below
This design has had few updates lately. Here are the latest updates:
Aug 2016: Twin 18HP engine design in the works - mostly complete, will be built in the September Power Cube workshop
Snapshot: Hydraulic ports - 2 3/4" male outputs from the top of the pumps, 2 3/4" female returns and 1 1/4" low pressure return.
Shapshot: Suction plumbing: Use 2 suction strainers and separate hoses to pumps, as reservoir ports are only 1 1/4" and these suction strainers are only rated at 8GPM each.
Question
How should corners be formed and welded for optimal strength? Here is one image of a corner, with one of the horizontal members in the corner and the others welded to it:
Should the orientation be the same for all 8 corners?
Should we employ any special grinding / welding procedures for the one weld where all three members meet?
