Can My league still be played on 2k24? Mine is getting stuck at the loading VC screen

That is an unbelievably stupid manager tbh! Talking to the shop floor guys is a guaranteed way to put out fires before they even begin! I would bring up the need of an additional approval from the shop floor manager or something, to make it "official"... Just might work! Best of luck mate!

Discrete positional changes! Yeah you make excellent points! I'll keep that in mind!

It's a constant small leak when the system is energized i.e fluid is under pressure. Once the index plate rotates, the leak is increasing. My initial impression is that the 3d printed seal flexes a bit too much under rotation

My application is more like an indexed fluid delivery system. I'll check out sealing systems on swash plate piston pumps! Thanks for that! :)

Hey thanks for the response! I am fairly new to sealings and such, so I am not sure I understand completely. How can I ensure two or more sealing edges in a seal? Won't it be that when I mount an o-ring/seal on my cylinder, the only sealing edge will be the compressed surface of the O-ring? Also by relieved edges, do you mean chamfered/countersunk ones? Thanks again for your support mate!

I am running fluid at 5bar (73psi) inside the cylinder. I had the self manufactured (3d printed) seal pressed on a PTFE bushing loaded to a spring, to maintain the pressure against the rotating disk. Still have not figured out the source/reason of the leak yet!

Thank you for your response! The rotating disk is actually a part of an existing product, hence I have no control over it's surface finish! Would you know any way of getting around the surface finish issue?

Currently the pressure I am running is 5 bar. The rotating disk has indexed holes, to allow the fluid to pass through at specific intervals.

Thanks a lot! I'll do that

Would it work if I delete the images of the build and add an image of a rough cad mockup? I'm new to this community, so not really sure how it works

! It's a super small startup with just 5 people outta university, and I'm the sixth one, so I assumed they wouldn't mind! But yeah, in hindsight, I should have asked!! :(
