Calculating Motor Requirements for Gearbox Design

AI Thread Summary
Calculating motor requirements for a gearbox design involves understanding the specific load and torque needed for the application. The user is working on an actual machinery project, where a motor rotates a gear connected to a shaft with a weight attached. To provide accurate assistance, more detailed specifications about the load, gear ratios, and desired speed are necessary. The discussion emphasizes the importance of these parameters in determining the appropriate motor size and power. Clear communication of the project's requirements will facilitate better guidance in the design process.

hi

i am designing a gear box and i need help on calculating my motors requirements.

i have a motor with rotating a gear which is connected to shaft using a gear attached to the shaft. on the top of the shaft a cylinder base is screwed weight X kg.

could you please help me

thank you

You're going to need to provide a great deal more of your required specifications.

What have you done so far in trying to solve this?

Is this homework?

Is this theoretical, or are you working on an actual piece of machinery?
 
its pretty much an actual machinery. as you can see in the attachment the cylinder box has a shaft in the center screwed to the top part of the machine in order to rotate everything except the gear box.

thank you

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'
I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...
After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
