Sorry could you explain further. Essentially (I Think) I want the friction in the gearbox to resist a certain load when the motor is not running. I am trying to work out how to calculate this?
Hey,
I have an engineering project where I need to be a able to lift a 1kg load with a balsa wood crane, but have it fail at 1.5kg so as to be not over engineered.
Various components need to fail (eg truss, which is easy) but I am trying to work out how to get the electro-mechanical...
