Re: Is it possible to change the BP motor to eliminate shifting?

Thanks Jon, I am installing a VFD and would like to figure out how to
use pneumatic cylinders to shift. Do you know of this being done on
the BP since the shift requires a 180 degree throw of the lever? I
think someone suggested using a stepper motor to turn the shift...
