SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on calculating the force components exerted by a rotating link system actuated by a motor providing 30Nm of torque. The user seeks to determine the force in the x, y, and z directions, represented as F=[Fx,Fy,Fz]. The proposed formula for calculating these forces is [Fx,Fy,Fz]=[tau/Px,tau/Py,tau/Pz]. Clarification is requested regarding the nature of the orange component in the diagram, questioning whether it is a solid object or a flexible element like a chain or rope.
