A motor that operates at 3 to 6 RPM with a maximum torque of 166Nm can be referred to as a gearmotor, which is ideal for high torque at low speeds. The discussion humorously suggests naming it "The Sloth" to reflect its slow movement. Participants agree on the name while acknowledging the need for additional naming for other parts. The conversation emphasizes the suitability of gearmotors for applications requiring low RPM and high torque. Overall, the focus is on identifying the appropriate motor type and its characteristics.

Can you tell me the name for a type of motor which moves very slowly; (3 to 6 rpm)? And it must move with a max. torque of 166Nm (1469 inch*ibs).
Thank you

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...
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...
