Torque required to tilt 1200 kg mass?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the torque required to tilt a 1200 kg cylinder with a diameter of 1200 mm and a height of 2.5 meters, the tilting point is located at the corner of an "L"-shaped platform. The shaft diameter for the tilting mechanism is 63 mm, and the angular acceleration is specified as 0.05236 rad/sec². The objective is to determine the necessary torque to achieve a 90-degree tilt, which will inform the selection of an appropriate worm reduction gearbox and motor. A critical element that may have been omitted in the specifications is the radius of the cylinder, which is essential for accurate torque calculations. Accurate torque calculations are crucial for ensuring the effective operation of the tilting assembly.

Object to be tilted = 1200mm diameter cylinder
Cylinder height = 2.5 meter
weight of tilting assembly = 1200 kg
Cylinder is on platform which is "L" shaped and tilting point is on that corner of "L" as in attached image.
Shaft diameter on which it is tilted id 63mm
Angular acceleration = 0.05236 rad/sec^2

tilting angle 90 degree
I need to calculate torque so that i can select worm reduction gearbox and motor required for operation.

You left out a key element in your list of specs. Do you know what it is?

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
