SUMMARY

The calculation of torque required to lift a 100kg mass is confirmed to be 755Nm based on the formula Torque = Force x Distance, where Force is calculated as F = Ma (F = 100kg x 9.81m/s² = 981N) and Distance is 0.77m. However, it is essential to consider the angle of application, as torque is also influenced by Torque = Fdsin(x). Additional clarification on the device's mechanics may be necessary for a comprehensive understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's Second Law (F=Ma)
  • Basic knowledge of torque calculations (Torque = Force x Distance)
  • Familiarity with trigonometric functions in physics (sin(x))
  • Ability to interpret mechanical drawings and schematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the impact of angles on torque calculations in mechanical systems
  • Learn about torque requirements for lifting mechanisms in robotics
  • Explore advanced torque calculation methods for varying load conditions
  • Investigate the relationship between torque and gearbox specifications
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, robotics developers, and anyone involved in designing lifting mechanisms or analyzing torque requirements in mechanical systems.

Hi all,
Please note this is not a home work.
Working on a NPD.Please look at the jpeg file

I have done few basic calculations to find torque to lift 100kg
F=Ma
F=100x9.81
F=981N

Torque=Force x Distance
T=981x.77
T=755Nm

The torque on the gearbox output shaft required to lift is 755Nm

Is this calculation correct?

Any help on this is much appreciated

Regards

Hi
Is this question still open? I do not really understand your drawing but i think there is a problem with your calculations. Please explain how should work your device.
 


I think you need to provide more info with your drawing and how it works. remember Torque = Fdsin(x) I believe you need to consider the angle as well, but I'm not entirely sure how this works either
