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.

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
