Designing a Gearbox for Lifting an Object of 2kg

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on designing a gearbox to lift a 2kg object using a specific motor from Jaycar (YM2712). Participants emphasize the importance of determining the lifting height and speed, as well as the source of gearwheels. Calculating the number of gears and their teeth is crucial for effective design. The conversation highlights the need for clarity on the lifting mechanism, whether it involves a drum or lever system.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gearbox design principles
  • Familiarity with motor specifications and torque calculations
  • Knowledge of gear ratios and their impact on lifting capacity
  • Experience with mechanical components sourcing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research gear ratio calculations for lifting mechanisms
  • Explore motor torque specifications for the Jaycar YM2712
  • Investigate sourcing options for gearwheels suitable for the design
  • Learn about different lifting mechanisms, such as drum and lever systems
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, hobbyists designing lifting systems, and anyone involved in gearbox design and motor applications.

hey guys, new here. need some kind of help
im required to design a gearbox which will be used to life an object of 2kg. details of the motor used are as follows:

have been trying to calc the number of gears needed, number of teeth on each gears but no avail. so is there any advice on how to start? thank you very much.

Welcome to PF.
How high do you have to lift it?
How fast do you have to lift it?
Where will you get your gearwheels from?
Is it lifted by a string round a drum? or on the end of a lever?
