Selection of gearbox for rotating a solid shaft

AI Thread Summary
To select a gearbox for a 320 mm diameter and 805 mm long rotating shaft, it's essential to calculate the torque of the shaft and match it with the gearbox's torque capacity. The basic formula for torque involves determining the moment of inertia, which for a cylinder is calculated as 1/2mr^2, where 'm' is mass and 'r' is radius. Additional parameters needed include the mass of the shaft, power output from the motor, and the desired angular velocity. Without these specifics, it's challenging to provide a definitive answer. Proper calculations will ensure the gearbox can handle the required power and torque for effective operation.

Hello
Being practical I have been stuck in one question like if I have a 320 mm diameter and 805 mm long shaft which is suppose to rotate through gearbox how do I need to select a gearbox.
As per I think I need to calculate the torque of shaft and find the torque of gearbox and based on that I will select gearbox.
I just want to know the basic formula to calculate torque of shaft and torque of gearbox assuming that it has a flange mounted motor so again how much power we need for that perticular gearbox

Without seeing the question it's hard to determine what the actual answer is. Because you are talking about angular velocity and given the values you have provided you most likely need to calculate the moment of inertia which for a cylinder is 1/2mr^2. However you still need parameters such as mass, power output from the motor, angular velocity of the motor. You must have additional parameters in the question
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
