Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] motor compensating fluid
I'm
mainly after a fluid I can run the small DC motors inside my actuators in.
They
don't work well in more viscous fluids, however larger motors may.
I
think Frank has gone away from compensating actuators.
I'm
simultaneously soaking various plastics in the Shelsol D60 & WD40.
The
WD40 was failing the test after an hour as the clear plastic container I had
it
in started to go white, also polystyrene soaking in it went soggy.

You
posted a question regarding a thin fluid for compensating your rov motors.
I
just picked up a sample of Shellsol D60 yesterday.
It's
clear, doesn't smell, has a higher flash point than WD40 & is low in
aromatics so is less destructive
to
plastics than WD40 & is close to water in viscosity. I've just run a small
DC actuator motor in it & it goes fine.
Am
soaking a number of plastics in it to see how it scores on that front over
time.
Has
anyone else used this?
