Automotive Motor Selection for Roller: Diameter 300mm, Length 1350mm, Inertia 3.95 KG.M

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on selecting a motor for a roller with a diameter of 300mm, a length of 1350mm, and an inertia of 3.95 kg-m^2, which needs to accelerate to 600 MPM in 20 seconds. Participants point out issues with the initial unit measurements, specifically the tension being incorrectly stated as N/m instead of N and the moment of inertia needing clarification. There is a focus on factors such as web tension, bearing drag, coefficient of traction, and wrap angle in the motor selection process. Additionally, questions arise regarding the intention behind the web tension's role in driving the roller. The thread concludes with a lock due to insufficient effort from the original poster in formulating their inquiry.

i need to select the motor for a roller of Diameter 300mm , length 1350mm
DRIVE.JPG
having inertia 3.95 KG.M ,Which needs to accelerate from 0 to 600MPM at 20 sec . Assuming existing web tension acting on the roller 20 N/M.
THANK YOU

And what research have you done so far? What have you found out?
 
There are some problems with your units. For the tension, you give 20 N/m, but tension is a force and should simply be in N. For the MMOI, you give 3.95 kg-m, but the units should be kg-m^2.

Is it your intention to formulate this whole question on a a per unit length basis?

Also, what is the tension difference across the roller?
 
Thank you for the response.
I am trying to find out the selection of motor .to rotate the roller .
Considering web tension, bearing drag , co efficient of traction and wrap angle .

Thank you .

You haven't even asked any questions, much less shown any effort to figure anything out. You need to do that.
 
Do you want the roller to provide the web tension, or do you want the web tension to drive the roller along with help from a motor? You show web tension on one side, but there is no indication of tension on the other side; what is your intention here?
 
The roller I have is OD diameter 300mm and ID 264 mm .
From the calculations I got moment of inertia is
27.906 kg.m^2 , which has to rotate at 190 mpm

Both Upstream and down stream web tension is 20 N .
 
Thread locked for insufficient effort by the OP.
