Motor torque calculation for lift having chain drive

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the starting and running torque required for a motor in a two-post lift system designed to lift a load of 3.0 tons (3000 kg). The lift utilizes a trapezoidal screw rod and nut mechanism on one column, while the other column is driven by a chain at the bottom. To determine the starting torque for the motor, users are encouraged to refer to the Panasonic geared motor catalog for specific calculations and methodologies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of torque calculations in mechanical systems
  • Familiarity with chain drive mechanisms
  • Knowledge of trapezoidal screw rod and nut systems
  • Basic principles of motor specifications and performance
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Torque calculation for chain drives" to understand the specific formulas involved
  • Study "Trapezoidal screw rod mechanics" for insights on load distribution
  • Examine "Panasonic geared motor specifications" for detailed performance metrics
  • Learn about "Motor starting torque requirements" for lifting applications
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, lift system designers, and anyone involved in the design and optimization of lifting mechanisms using chain drives and screw systems.

i want to know how to calcuate Starting and running for motor in 2 post lift for lifting 3.0T.
Actually i have 2 columns having trapezoidal screw rod and nut in each side.
One column is getting drive by motor through pulley belt mechanism.
Another shaft is getting driven by chain at the bottom.
can someone tell us how to calculate the starting torque required at motor to lift load of 3000Kg via this chain drive??
