Help with Moments in Mechanism

Click For 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.

By doing a free body diagram.

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.

Thread 'Local pressures in turbocharger housing?'
This is question for fluid mechanics. Static pressure in the exhaust manifold(turbo car engine) is usually 1.2 to 2.5 times higher than the boost pressure(intake manifold pressure).Boost pressure is around 1bar guage pressure(2bar absolute). Can the local static pressure somewhere inside a turbine housing ever be lower than atmospheric pressure, is this possible? here some links where CFD is used...
