How Do You Calculate Torque for a Climbing Robot?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the torque required for a climbing robot on a glass panel, consider the robot's weight of 2kg and the vacuum pressure of 8"Hg. The torque will depend on the radius of the rubber wheels and the friction between the wheels and the glass surface. Additionally, the specifications of the servo, including its output and power supply of 6V, are crucial for proper selection. Understanding these factors will help determine the necessary torque for effective climbing. Proper calculations will ensure the servo can handle the required load.

Dear all,

I would like to calculate the torque required for my application
my robot is suppose to climb up on a glass panel
the vacuum pad i am using is silicone, it has two rubber wheel to climb.
the weight of the robot is 2kg.

May i know how to calculate torque required for the servo selection?

thanks

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

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...
