AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on moving a 200-gram object over a 20-meter distance at speeds of 50 m/s, utilizing three motors for control along the x, y, and z axes. The primary challenge is achieving the desired speed and effective braking. Suggestions include exploring model rocket motors as a potential solution. There is also consideration of using magnetic tunnels, though concerns about power requirements and control complexity are noted. Overall, guidance on suitable motor options is sought to meet these specifications.

Need some guidance on how to approach the following scenario

Object : 200 grams

movement axis : x, y, z

distance : 20 meters

speed : 70 to 150 kmph adjustable.

The plan is to have 3 motors on a jig to control the movement on 3 axis.
The issue is to reach 50 m/s speeds and braking.

alternatively is to look at magnetic tunnel but the power requirement
adn control seems expansive.


Any suggestion on a motor that is available that can reach 50 m/s
over 20 meters? the Y axis and z axis motors will be driven by the
x axis motor hence the object weight will be more when it
comes to the x-axis motors which moves the jig across 20mts
at 50 m/s

appreciate any guidance on the same

Welcome to the PF.

Maybe use a model rocket motor?
 
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...
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?'
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...
