    Mass Rotation
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need to rotate a 10-tonne fabricated rectangular structure around its center axis. The user seeks guidance on a suitable drive mechanism for this rotation, considering the use of a shaft and potentially industrial strength belts and motors. Participants emphasize the importance of providing additional details, such as dimensions and a diagram of the component, to offer more precise advice. There is a suggestion to consider using a stepper motor for the rotation. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for clarity and specific information to facilitate effective solutions.

Dear friends,
I am new to this forum , and I've just joined. I would like to ask a specific query reg. the rotation of mass. I need to rotate a mass from its center axes.So i would like some of you to guide me , how to proceed in this matter.Rotation by a drive mechanism , so that the load may be rotated by 180 to 360 deg. Pl. help me out. Thanks is advance.

Welcome to PF, Charles.
I'm afraid that you'll have to provide more information; your question is incomplete.
First, are you asking how to determine the centre of mass, or advice on a mechanism to rotate it?
 
Thanks

Dear friends,

Thanks for your quick reply. In continuation with my query , I need to rotate a mass of nearly 10 tonne about its centre axis , and the component is a fabricated rectangular structure.Its got a bore and I'm planning to use the same , using a shaft and rotate it.
 
Are we to assume that you have a way to get this on the shaft and that you just need a drive mechanism? You could do this with industrial strength belts and motors. What are the dimensions of this piece?
 
This is indeed on a considerably different scale than I was thinking of. Are you able to post a diagram?

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
