Motor Gearbox 12V 70 RPM - Find Radius to Lift 0.5kg

AI Thread Summary
To determine the radius needed for a spindle to lift 0.5 kg but not 1 kg using a 12V 70 RPM motor, consider the concept of torque and leverage. The output torque from the gearbox is crucial, as it dictates the lifting capacity based on the radius of the circular attachment. The circular attachment acts as a lever arm, and the radius must be calculated to ensure that the torque produced is sufficient for 0.5 kg but insufficient for 1 kg. It's important to balance the weight and radius to achieve the desired lifting capability. Understanding these principles will help in calculating the appropriate radius for the spindle.

The specs of the motor are irrelevant, since they can't take into consideration external influences. The output of the gearbox is what matters. All that I can suggest, without breaking the forum rules about helping with homework, is that you should think of your "circular thing" as a lever arm.
 
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 '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...
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
