Help with Moments in Mechanism

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the resultant moment in a mechanical gear system that utilizes two nut runners, each applying a torque of 70Nm. The user seeks guidance on determining the appropriate motor size for a pinion that drives the gear. Key insights include the importance of using a free body diagram for moment calculations and understanding that motor sizing is based on power output, with torque and RPM considerations that can be adjusted using a gearbox.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mechanical torque and moments
  • Familiarity with free body diagrams
  • Knowledge of motor sizing principles
  • Basic concepts of gear systems and gearboxes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to create and analyze free body diagrams for mechanical systems
  • Learn about motor sizing calculations, focusing on power output, torque, and RPM
  • Explore gearbox design and its impact on torque and speed in mechanical systems
  • Investigate the principles of spur gear mechanics and their applications
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, designers of automated systems, and anyone involved in the development of gear-driven mechanisms will benefit from this discussion.

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?
 
basically, 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.
