    Motor Rpm Spin
AI Thread Summary
When selecting a motor capable of spinning at 3500+ rpm while supporting a 200 lb load, key attributes to consider include the required speed tolerance, torque, and bearing loads. The orientation of the shaft—whether vertical or horizontal—affects the motor's design and load distribution. Additional factors include the moment of inertia of the load and whether it is statically or dynamically balanced. The longevity of the bearings and budget constraints are also crucial in the decision-making process. Understanding these specifications will help in finding the right motor for the application.

Hi, i need help figuring out what to look for in a motor given certain specifications. If I am browsing for a motor that is able to spin at 3500+ rpm while holding 200 lbs. of weight, what attributes/values do i need to pay attention to?

You need to say exactly what your speed will be and what tolerance you can live with. For example, would a 3450 rpm ac motor do?

The 200 lb weight presents two issues: torque and bearing loads. Will the shaft be vertical or horizontal? Will the shaft be supported? Will the load be overhung? What will be the moment of inertia of the load? Will the load be statically balanced? Dynamically balanced? How long do you want the bearings to last? How much money do you want to spend?

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
