Help with Moments in Mechanism

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on developing a mechanical device that utilizes two nut runners attached to a spur gear, with a motor connected to a pinion for rotation. To calculate the resultant moment in the gear, creating a free body diagram is recommended. Sizing the motor involves considering its power output, torque, and RPM, which can be adjusted using a gearbox to maintain consistent power transfer. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the relationship between these components for effective design. The conversation highlights the need for precise calculations to ensure optimal motor selection and device functionality.

I'm developoing one mechamical device, that we'll put two nutrunner in one gear. One spur gear will rotate the gear and put the nutrunner and one position. Each nutrunner will fix one bolt with 70Nm.

I need put one motor in pinion, but i need consider the moments to define de size of the motor.

Someone could tell me how I can calculate the result moment in the gear or how to define the best motor?

Welcome!
Could you describe how those three things connect to each other?
 
Basicly, the two nutrunner are assembly in the gear blue. And the pinion (white) will receive a motor to rotate the gear to put the nutrunner in correct position (it's just a setup). The gear(blue) have a bearing.

Motors are sized by their power output. There are some limits on Torque and RPM depending on the design, but that can be offset with a gearbox because power is constant when transferring from one mechanism to another.

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
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...
