Ey guys sorry if this is in the wrong area; not too sure but i do mechanical eng and figured it was. Well i hope so lol otherwise i might have selected the wrong course
We have an assignment coming up, (according to past year students that involves DC motors, gear box's). Wouldn’t mind getting a bit ahead of the pack.
(Figured its not a assignment question or anything so it didnt belong in the HW area; more after general knowledge. However if it does please move it and sorry for the mistake
Just wondering if anyone can give me a hand with understanding some data sheets and basic stuff.
"10:1 Gear motor - High Power, 3000 RPM, 0.3 kg-cm"
10:1
First off what does the 10:1 stand for. I am assuming the 10:1 is the gear box ratio.
-Does the drive shaft coming out of the gear box turn 10 times faster than the motor shaft? or does the shaft coming out of the gear box turn at 1/10th of the motors shaft RPM?
RPM
I’m assuming this is how fast the drive shaft coming out of the gear box turns at...??
Stupid question but if we were to replace this motor with a remote control car's motor, would it go flying away since the wheel would turn 3000 RPM = 50 RPS.??
0.3 kg-cm
What does this mean?
