Hi, I'm and uneducated garage tinkerer currently motorizing a motorcycle dolly in order to rotate a motorcycle 180 degrees within its length to enable me to ride off and upon returning to my garage, to rotate the bike in order to drive out on my next ride. My question is what amount of ft-lb or...

Homework Statement https://ibb.co/imui5b[/B] hey i need to calculate max normal stress at BC and max shear stress at b and c is my torque equation right? Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution so i thought Σma=0 Cx*6+80*6+80*2=0 i ll find cx and then ΣFx=0 and ΣFy=0

Suppose I have a motor driving a shaft that runs 1.5m long with a screw attached, the screw is mixing a product. Power = Torque x Speed Torque = Power/Speed To find my Torque I can use my Shear Max = Tr/J And J for a shaft is Tmax = (π / 16) τmax D3 My question is, where does the mass of the...

For a project I am doing I need to increase out put speed to 515 rpm from 1rpm with no more than a 20% decrease in torque, I need help I have been trying a lot of things and can't figure it out.

Hi, I am doing a design project but I'm kinda stuck with choosing motors because i am not sure of the required torque. My project is a handicapped golf vehicle powered by 2 motors, so it would need to be able of climbing steep gradients. I currently have an equation but I am not entirely sure if...

Hello, Example vehicle design criteria: ▪ Gross vehicle weight (GVW): 190kg*9.81 = 1863.9N ▪ Weight on each drive wheel (WW): 1.84kg *9.81 = 18N ▪ Radius of wheel/tire (Rw): 216mm ____________________________________________________ ▪ Desired top speed (Vmax): ? ▪ Desired...

500lbs pressing down on two gears. Surface area of contact on one gear is 0.03125 inches squared. I calculated pressure. 500lbs / 0.0625 = 8000psi being exerted onto the two gears' surface areas. One gear has 4000psi. The gears' radius is 0.47 inches. I calculated torque for an...
