Motor torque calculation for lift having chain drive

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the starting torque required for a motor to lift a 3.0-ton load using a chain drive, one must consider the load weight, the mechanical advantage provided by the pulley and chain system, and the frictional forces involved. The torque can be determined using the formula: Torque = Force x Distance, where Force is the weight of the load and Distance is the radius of the pulley or gear. Additionally, the efficiency of the system and any losses due to friction should be factored into the calculations. It is also important to ensure that the motor selected can handle both the starting and running torque requirements. Accurate calculations will ensure the lift operates safely and effectively.

i want to know how to calcuate Starting and running for motor in 2 post lift for lifting 3.0T.
Actually i have 2 columns having trapezoidal screw rod and nut in each side.
One column is getting drive by motor through pulley belt mechanism.
Another shaft is getting driven by chain at the bottom.
can someone tell us how to calculate the starting torque required at motor to lift load of 3000Kg via this chain drive??

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet?'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
