    Calculation Torque
Click For Summary
Calculating the torque required for a motor to rotate a lever beam involves understanding the forces acting on the system. The angle between the gas spring and the load beam is 32 degrees, which affects the force calculations. To determine the torque, one must analyze the free body diagram and ensure that all forces and moments sum to zero. The torque can be calculated as the force at the end of the rod multiplied by the length of the rod, specifically the component of the force that acts perpendicular to the rod. Properly applying these principles will lead to the correct torque calculation needed for the motor.

Hi to all members,

i having problem finding the torque required for the motor to rotate the lever beam clockwise... hoping someone can guide me solve the problem...

This is the image i attach...http://img838.imageshack.us/i/31088063.jpg/
and the angle between the gas spring and the load beam is 32 degree..
Thanks

i am already fourd the Force at the hinge.. but no idea to the find the force where the gas spring connected to the lever beam of the motor..
 
It's a statics problem where you do one (or several) free bodies and sum the forces and moments in all directions...all must equal zero. The torque of the motor must be the component of force at the tip of the rod that is 90-degrees from the rod TIMES the length of the rod. Does this make sense?
 

Thread 'Measuring Deer Antler Volume'

My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
