Well I have the design autocad ed out, now I just need help with understanding the calculations/formulas so I can figure out what motor will power my system/handcart. Perfect world would be a DC motor, with 2 output shafts, that's capable of lifting around 400lbs,[ my max weight cap is 250lb] do...
do you have a link to the cart you were talking about? I was thinking instead of a triangle shaped mounting bracket, I was thinking more of a Peace Sign like a Mercedes symbol w/o the ring & With the wheels on theends, so the bracket wouldn't catch the edge of the stairs. The wheel design is...
Hey, I am currently pursuing my associates in Engineering with hopes of transferring to complete a Bachelors degree in either Mechanical, Material, or maybe Aerospace Engineering. I served active duty in the U.S. Army for 6 years, as a Combat Engineer(SAPPER) where my job was to Run n Gun like...
Berkeman, youre right!Just pulled avg weight of a Refridgerator and roughly between 200-250 lbs, so a highcap of 300lb will be plenty sufficient. Thanks!
I figure the load will be more stable if tilted back to be closer to parallel with the slope of the stairs, rather than perpendicular to...
On this setup, each of the 3 wheels rotate independantly of the others, which allows good mobility and turning radius. my plan was to use a straight solid axle with a sprocket or something, linkking the two sides together on one axle and then running a chain or belt to an electric motor. This...
Absolutely understandable. I do not wish for the calcs to be done for me, because how could I learn them for future projects unless I do them. I only ask to be pointed or given the specific calculation/formula that I must figure out in order to get the desired answer or outcome I need.. Thank...
Hello,
So I am in the process of designing a stair climbing electric handcart/dolley capable of lifting around 500 lbs {Washer/dryer or Refridgerator} up stairs. The idea was to use an electric motor, preferably DC for HighTorque Low Speed and for my powering options. The idea was to use...
