When searching through a catalog for gear drive reducers, I find that many of them list nominal output torque and nominal input speed. My question is what does the term 'nominal' in that context mean.
If it lists nominal output torque of 3186in.lb, and nominal input speed of 2900rpm, does...
For an application that requires 200 FT LBS, would a camshaft suffice?
My idea was connecting a 1HP motor to a reducer to obtain ~35RPM and attaching a camshaft to the output shaft. Then mounted above the camshaft will be a cam follower that will travel up and down as the camshaft rotates...
[SOLVED] Elevator vs. Piston/Cylinder
In designing a reciprocating linear motion force, I have two approaches to the problem using a standard 1 horsepower motor. The travel is 2 feet forward and 2 feet backwords with a minimum force of 200lbs.
From calculations, each cycle of the...
