I have an application (clothes washer) which requires a drive design such that:
The drum contains 170 lbs of water and clothes, spinning at 95 rpm. The drum spins at this speed for 1 second, then decelerates for 0.25 seconds and reverses direction.
This process repeats for 30 minutes.
My problem is that I haven't a clue as to how to construct the torque curve to show the deceleration and direction change, and my task is to design the drive belt.
The drive pulley for this drum is aluminum, and is 234mm in diameter.
Could anyone assisst in providing the torque values seen at the pulley?
Thank you
