Finding the Right Motor for a Large Cylinder

[QUOTE="ncr7, post: 3149591, member: 54296"] Looking for a motor to turn a large cylinder. Say if I have a cylinder of radius 1007.54mm and mass of 2 tons, I would have a moment of innertia of 1.027x10^3 kg-m^2 This is from the general cylinder inertial equation, I = .5*m*r^2 The torque necessary to bring this to 30 deg/ 5 min is W= [tex]\varpi[/tex]0 rad/sec + .5*[tex]\alpha[/tex]*(5 min/60 sec)^2 W = 30 deg*(3.14 rad/180 deg)*2/(.00694 sec^2) W = 6.06x10^(-5) rad/sec^2 Torque is then, T = 1.027x10^3*6.06x10^-5 rad/sec^2 T = .06224 N-m Correct? and if this is so if I had a motor with a minimum torque of .06224 N-m? I think this is correct but thought I'd have someone run over calculations and see if I am looking for a motor the right way. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
