Built around 1920 for a coal washing plant, this stationary steam engine by W.C. Holmes & Co. weighs approximately half a ton.
Thanks to our partner Machine Building Systems Ltd, UK for sending us a video of their spectacular exhibit.
The system combines item Line 12 profiles for the frame and Line 8 profiles with D25 Bearing Units, together with an R50 timing belt drive, to move and position the half-ton machine precisely.
The system moves from left to right on a simple timer. When the steam engine returns to its starting position, the valves direct air into the engine, causing it to rotate.
