    Force Rotate
AI Thread Summary
A six sigma project is underway to reduce endbreaks in textile beaming by measuring the force required to rotate spindles. The project involves 1,000 spindles, each equipped with a wooden brake to control speed variations. The goal is to standardize the force applied by all wooden brakes. The discussion seeks recommendations for devices that can measure torque and apply a constant rotational force while tracking revolutions over time. Finding the right measurement tool is crucial for achieving uniformity in spindle operation.

I am working on a six sigma project to reduce endbreaks in Beaming (textile). I am trying to find a device to measure the force required to rotate a spindle. There are 1000 spindles that hold packages that are transferred to a beam. Each spindle has a wooden brake that applies a force to the spindle to reduce free wheeling with variations in speed. I want to set up all spindles the same. Does anyone know how to measure the torque required to rotate the spindle?

I guess I am looking for something that can apply a constant rotational force and look at how many revolutions in a certain time period. I am trying to get all the wooden brakes to apply the same force. Anybody know what device I can use?
 

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
