    High School Calculate Torque to lift 7'-9' pole with 5-8 lbs at the end

    CWatters, Thank you again for all your help. Is it possible to provide me with an example of torque. The pole will not come to a sudden stop, the amount of time to go 90 degrees I would want to take a minute and half to 2 minutes. So if I make it 90 degrees for minute and half it'll be 1 degree...

    High School Calculate Torque to lift 7'-9' pole with 5-8 lbs at the end

    Jbriggs/CWatters, Thank you for all the input. CWatters, You mentioned about the torque would be greater when I needed the pole to move, how would speed be calculated into the torque. As for the speed I would like it to move, I don't have a set speed in mind, would the formula be the same for...

    High School Calculate Torque to lift 7'-9' pole with 5-8 lbs at the end

    Jbriggs444, This much I know. I just need to know what is the minimum amount of torque that is required to perform such a feat . Once I know the torque, I can than get a decent motor and apply the appropriate, gears ration, pulley ratio and or worm gear to complete this task. I just don't know...

    High School Calculate Torque to lift 7'-9' pole with 5-8 lbs at the end

    I'm trying to figure out what type of motor I need to use that has the ability to lift a 7'-9' pole that has about 5-8 pound weight attached to it at the end. The max angle that the poll will be is 180 degrees and the motor will need to lift it to 90 degrees. As for the weight its not a free...
