    Can an electric motor and gearbox control the speed of a rotating shaft?

    Exactly you have understood me well. Thanks for your feedback. Now my concern is if by the movement of the balls in the governer and some linkages I would achieve a good breaking force, or else I need to introduce a force multiplier to help in a better breaking. Sean

    Can an electric motor and gearbox control the speed of a rotating shaft?

    @anorlunda thanks for your help. As explained above I design mechanical ground fireworks as can be seen in the following link: Here are the answer to your questions: 1. I am calculating that I will have a resistive torque of 500Nm. 2.I would like as much as possible to have an exact speed...

    Can an electric motor and gearbox control the speed of a rotating shaft?

    @Mech_Engineer thanks for your reply. As I was discussing with @berkeman I design mechanical ground fireworks as a hobby. The principle behind this is from a driver (this generally is a wheel with fire rockets attached to it - acts like a motor) and how linkages/gears/cams are set up you create...

    Thanks @berkeman and thanks for the help too. I design mechanical ground fireworks as a hobby. The principle behind this is from a driver (this generally is a wheel with fire rockets attached to it - acts like a motor) and how linkages/gears/cams are set up you create different shapes and...

    Can an electric motor and gearbox control the speed of a rotating shaft?

    Hi, Here's the problem. So basically I have an input shaft which has non constant Forces acting on it. Thus the input shaft speed varies with time. What I need is an output shaft that is speed controlled i.e. Speed constant with time. To add to it on the output shaft I have a large mass...
