I have a 1/4 hp electric motor. I plan on attaching a piece of threaded rod to the shaft of the motor. If I put a nut on the threaded rod, and welded 2 bars to either side of the nut (running parallel to the threaded rod) how would I calculate the amount of linear force I am exerting? The threaded rod would be stabilized with a piece of teflon or something so as to minimize the strain on the end of the rod, as well as reduce resistance through friction.
I am trying to think of how to go from cylindrical force to linear...
I am going to go back into the old textbooks because I know I did something like this before... I'll post what I find, but if anyone remembers off of the top of their head, please feel free to post.
Thanks,
