Calculating Motor Requirements for Gearbox Design

Click For Summary
Calculating motor requirements for a gearbox design involves understanding the specific load and torque needed for the application. The user is working on an actual machinery project, where a motor rotates a gear connected to a shaft with a weight attached. To provide accurate assistance, more detailed specifications about the load, gear ratios, and desired speed are necessary. The discussion emphasizes the importance of these parameters in determining the appropriate motor size and power. Clear communication of the project's requirements will facilitate better guidance in the design process.

hi

i am designing a gear box and i need help on calculating my motors requirements.

i have a motor with rotating a gear which is connected to shaft using a gear attached to the shaft. on the top of the shaft a cylinder base is screwed weight X kg.

could you please help me

thank you

You're going to need to provide a great deal more of your required specifications.

What have you done so far in trying to solve this?

Is this homework?

Is this theoretical, or are you working on an actual piece of machinery?
 
its pretty much an actual machinery. as you can see in the attachment the cylinder box has a shaft in the center screwed to the top part of the machine in order to rotate everything except the gear box.

thank you

Thread 'Measuring Deer Antler Volume'

My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
