I think I just figured it out. I just use the equation for static friction of the drive wheels and the surface. Then use the torque equation to determine the maximum torque before slipping. Fs = us * N where Fs = static friction force us = coeff of static friction N = normal force...

Yes, there are many many factors to consider, the loading case of 1000kg is the absolute maximum that could be applied in ideal situations, realistically loads of <500kg will be more commonly used. I've got a query, What, if any, is the difference between friction force and traction force...

That is the equation for the rolling resistance of the vehicle. Fv = Crr * N Fv = rolling resistance of vehicle 0.08 = coeff of rolling resistance of vehicle 45kg = mass of vehicle

Hello. I'm trying to find the torque required of an electric vehicle to pull a 1000kg trolley on four Nylon Wheels on smooth concrete. The trolley fully supports its own weight. The vehicle has 2 rubber drive wheels of Radius( r = .125m). Now I'm not sure if am on the right track because i...
