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.

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'
I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...
After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
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...
