Motion in circles mechanical engineering

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a rotating disc with a bearing and shaft, experiencing a dynamic force of 14,400N at 2.43 rpm, and the need to stop it using electromagnets. Participants inquire about sourcing electromagnets capable of handling the required force, as most available options only reach 1,000N. Clarifications are sought regarding the nature of the motion, whether it is truly simple harmonic motion or a combination of rotation and lateral translation. Additional questions address the calculations needed for magnetic field resistance and the materials involved in the setup. The conversation also explores the feasibility of chaining magnets to enhance stopping power and discusses the role of friction in deceleration once the force is removed.

first time guys.
i have a disc with a bearing and a shaft through it. the disc is rotating in simple harmonic motion with a dynamic force of 14400N and speed of 2.43 rpm. i need to use electromagnets to stop this disc from rotating.
questions.
-where or can can i get electromagnets to stop 14400N . the max i have found is just 1000N
- what calculations do i need to consider in calculating magnetic field resistance.

What do you mean when you say that the disk is rotating with SHM? Is it rotating, or is it translating side to side? Is the 14400 N an oscillating force, or is it steady?Can you provide a sketch of the situation? This would probably help a lot. Please specify the materials for the parts also.
 
what is providing that 14400 N of force (I'm assuming that is centripetal force?)
If you stop that source, the disk will eventually stop due to friction with the bearings, and the air.
Applying an extra 1000 N of force will assist with that deceleration.
can you chain the magnets together? have one magnet on one side, and another magnet on the other side?
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

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 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

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...
