Hi! if a pulley its transmiting Moment to and Axle, and the other side of the axle its fixed. Does the diameter of the Pulley, conected to the axle, affect the torsion the conections will have? For example, if the axle diameter its 10 cm, will a 50 cm diameter pulley, transmit more, less or the...

Hi! Thanks for your answer. The power is transfered through a pulley, so i think thats going to prevent damage and impacts. The bearing, i believe is self-aligning, cause is the same bearing used in a car (nisssan tiida), so i thinks its probably ok!

Thanks for your answer! I'ts clear to me now, that the torque should be insignificant. Taking advantage of the previous question, I think it could be useful to consider the maximum force generated by an impact (such as a fall for example). Do you have any idea how I could estimate it well?

Ok, sorry for the simple drawing. I hope it helps. First, the plate that conect the shaft with the robot. So, the big hole is where the shaft pass, the three little holes araund are part of the shaft holder. The other holes are for attaching the plat to the robot. The robot has a motor that...

Basically I am calculating how many bolts to use for an aluminum plate that connects to the shaft of a motor that drives a wheel. The shaft is connected by bearings to the plate, so it should transmit very little moment to the chassis through the plate, but I don't know if I'm thinking about it...
