Morning,
I have a friend here in Dubai whose husband imports heavy machinary from
Japan. She'd like to sneak a wheel into a shipment. (She's trying to avoid
importing from the UK, US or Oz.) Anyone have any ideas about this? I did
explain to her that there may be a problem with the wheel going clockwise...
Thanks.
Best regards,
Carol

I would tell my friend to avoid feelings. Tell her to remove the "made in the USA" and
work good!

Ababi,
You misunderstand. Please don't leap to such a conclusion. You know the
tremendous costs of shipping from far away places - UK, US and Oz. If you
could piggyback a shipment onto one a relative was bringing into Isreal,
wouldn't you? Well, as I said, my friend's husband imports heavy machinery
into here from Japan and she wants to use up some space in a container.
This has nothing to do with politics.

This is true for DC (direct current) motors, the variable speed type,
but I'm not sure about the AC (alternating current) type. It might be
true with them as well, I just don't know. Shimpo for example might use
the AC motor on a Japanese wheel with the cone drive. Lee Love, or
someone else in Japan might be able to give you some ideas on this.

My Shimpo RK-2 (or possibly it's a late RK-1) has an AC motor and has a
toggle switch for changing direction.
But having forgotten everything I ever learned in my "AC and DC Circuits
and Machines" course (other than the fact that I took the class, lo so many
years ago), I can't suggest how this is accomplished. I don't recall
seeing any sort of a control box underneath that built-like-a-tank-turret
base when last I had the strength to upend it--perhaps the motor itself has
the necessary circuitry built in.
It's also possible that my wheel was built for export and thus
reversible. Carol might want to make sure that the import wheel either is
reversible or easily modified.

Carol,
The Shimpos here in Japan that I have seen, are all cone drive and
you can make them rotate either way with a switch. Japan operates under
two different power types, in the Kansai (Osaka), the power is the same as in
America 120V/60Mh. In the Kanto (Tokyo) the power is 100V/50Mh. Mashiko
is in the Kanto, North of Tokyo. At the workshop, the Shimpos are of two
types: 100V/50mh and 200V/50mh. The equivalent of my Shimpo Gold back in
St. Paul, Minnesota, runs at 200V here.
I don't know anything about exporting or importing in Japan. My
Japanese is meager. Can the machine company in Japan help your friend?
Have her look on the web, she might be able to find a company in Japan.
Good luck,
--
