AI Thread Summary
To rotate a 6 kg aluminum disc at 1600 rpm using a battery-powered DC motor, it's essential to find a motor that provides sufficient torque at that speed. The user is developing a gyroscopic suitcase, requiring the motor to operate in both horizontal and vertical orientations without additional loads. Suggestions include searching for 12V DC motors with the desired specifications, but challenges arise in finding a motor that can deliver the necessary torque while operating on a 12V battery. Additionally, considerations for strong support and potential use of extra bearings to prevent motor damage are highlighted. The search for an appropriate motor continues to be a challenge due to torque requirements.

hello,
I need to rotate a circular aluminium disc with a Battrey powred DC motor. I am having problem in finding the right kind of motor. The total mass of the disc is 6 kg, radius of 30 cm and have to be rotated both horizontally and vertically. I need to rotate it at 1600 rpm. So what would be the appropriate motor to rotate the disc.

thank you.

How fast do you need to get up to speed?

What do you mean that you need to rotate it horizontally and vertically? Does it need to operate in both orientations or both ways simultaneously?

What is it rotating in (vacuum, air, water, molasses, etc.) and is there any other load placed on it?

I just want to make a Gyroscopic suitcase with a inbuilt motor. So the orientation could be both and there is not any load on that rotating disc. Just the thing is that it need a high speed enough to get the gyroscopic effect.

Try doing a Google Images search for 12V 1600rpm DC motor, and click into some of the images to see the specs of potential motor candidates. You will likely need a pretty beefy 12Vdc battery to supply the motor for any length of time...
 
Also make sure your support is strong enough. You might need to use extra bearings to keep from destroying the motor or bending the shaft.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried to search it but could not find the proper motor that could provide the required torque. And since it need to operate with 12V battery its difficult to find a suitable motor that could give a high torque with the required speed.
 
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...
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
