AI Thread Summary
Selecting a solenoid actuator for tensioning a chain on a rotating bobbin requires understanding the specific application details. The bobbin rotates at 100 rpm and weighs 9081 kgs, with a calculated braking torque of 35 KN-m. Clarification is needed on how the solenoid will apply tension, as tensioning typically involves longitudinal displacement to remove slack rather than braking. Additional information about the operational mechanism and requirements will aid in making an informed selection. Providing these details is crucial for effective solenoid actuator selection.

I need to select a solenoid actuator for tensioning a chain. The chain is for a bobbin which rotates at 100 rpm. The weight of the bobbin is 9081 kgs. I calculated the braking torque of 35 KN-m but as my knowledge is very limited for solenoids i wish to know how can i select a solenoid for this arrangement?

Welcome, Ameya. Unless this is a common arrangement that people should automatically be familiar with, I think that more information is required as to what you need. For instance, in what way does the solenoid apply this tension? You mention braking, but tensioning usually implies to me a longitudinal displacement to take up slack. Can you please clarify your question?

Thread 'Cantilever help'

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 '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...
