ok i have 8ft of room to work with here let's say. That is the vertical length of the drop of the weight that I would want to take (hypothetcally speaking) 1 hr to fall in that 8 ft vertical span. And having the gear reducers set up for it to perform in that matter. So in your calculations you...
Thanks 256bits! ok that makes sense but somehow i just can't comprehend the 7600 lbs needed that would be pulling down by gravity on the pulley to obtain my 50hp. to me as a layman it just seems a bit much. To me it seems the the torgue would increase by the use of the gear reduction right...
I think everyone is missing my concept here, just imagine a block and tackle but in reverse, same principal. it would takes less weight to move my gear reduction (series of 3 or 4)
just don't see it, i,ve been told by many engineers that it would only take around 1800lbs to have enough force from gravity pulling down from the pulley to rotate the shaft and have 50 hp to output on the final gear reduction. but just trying to confirm it. i guess to make my question simple...
38 metric tons? I think you may be way off on your calculations my friend, I am no phyics person and don't claim to be, but common sense tells me that just aint right. Thanks for help tho much appreciated, god bless.
I need to calculate how a mass (of an unknown weight) suspended on a pulley and shaft, what would be the weight in lbs (or Kg for that matter) to give me a 50 hp output using a series of gear reducers going from less than 1 rpm to the input shaft and a final output rpm of 1850. the configuration...
