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.

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.

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
