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.
