Calculation of Torque (Not Homework, just )

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the torque required to move a shaft in a fixture application, specifically at a rotation speed of 35 RPM. The user seeks to determine the necessary torque to select an appropriate model of a magnet resistance motor to replace the load disc. It is established that for constant speed rotation, the net torque is zero, indicating that the resistances acting on the system must be known to perform accurate calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of torque calculation principles
  • Familiarity with rotational dynamics
  • Knowledge of magnet resistance motors
  • Basic mechanical engineering concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research torque calculation methods for rotating shafts
  • Learn about the characteristics of magnet resistance motors
  • Study the effects of load resistance on torque requirements
  • Explore rotational dynamics and its applications in mechanical design
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, product designers, and anyone involved in the design and fabrication of rotating machinery or fixtures requiring precise torque calculations.

Need some help to fabricating a new fixture.

Currently our application shown in the picture. but i need to calculate the torque required to move the shaft. IF can, the speed of rotation should be around 35 rpm.

I need the torque value before i can determine what model of magnet resistance motor that i can use to replace the load disc.

Thank you.

For a rotation at constant speed, net torque is zero. You need to know what resistances there aere.
