since i am planning to rotate the gate from its shaft .. i have calculated torue from the equation as I= (mh^2)/3 + (mw^2)/12
after that multiplied I with 3.142/2
to calculate torue
as m = 400kg in my case
h=2.5m
w=5m
and angle (alpha)= 90
so torque is 2618 NM
and the power of the motor i...
but in four bar mechanism the rod that will be supplying power from the motor has to be of a large length as the length of gate is about 4.9mtr. so it will definately create a bending in it...
what will be the hp required if a dc motor with worm gear arrangement is placed on the supporting or on...
I need to automate a gate that is 4.91mtr in length, the motion should be swing type and the angle of rotation to be about less than 180 degree. and the mass of the gate is about 300kg, now should I use a dc motor and if so what should be rating of the same, the rpm required about 5-8...
