I have this conveyor which I am trying to automate i.e. It runs for 5 secs and have a pause of 3 sec, this process is continuous.
I am creating a mechanism where I have a gear of dia 200mm which is fixed (i.e. I can't change its dia) and it is attached to a conveyor.
Now I am introducing a second gear which is variable (i.e. I can change its dia) Now I am thinking that the second gear should have less number of teeths i.e.
"sorry i can't use images yet therefore search in google (half tooth gear)."
because I want a pause of 3 seconds and rotation of 5 seconds in conveyor. I am really confused of how the calculations will be carried out. The rpm of the second gear can also be changed.
I am using 2*pi*r to get the length of the gear circumference however I am not sure what size should be the second gear and at which speed I should rotate to get a 3 sec pause and 5 sec run. I know its complicated but even a little help will be appreciated.
Regards
Webb
