Hi, I am doing a project that involves an electric motor that winches an object upward pulling it by a string, over a given distance and I need help to calculate an optimal gear ratio, if that is possible. This is how far I have got...
Variables
torque/rpm
gear ratio
Constants
distance object travels
mass of object
motor input
to make it simple i am only using one gear, the motor shaft
acceleration of object = (f/m - 9.8)
velocity of string = RPM x pie x motor shaft diameter
assuming initial v=0,
the derivative of (f/m - 9.8)=RPM x Pie x Shaft diameter
i am trying to find a correlation between the average velocity the object takes to cross a given distance and the shaft diameter (gear ratio), I am guessing its a parabola, but how can i do this? please help thnx
