Transfer of torque - wheel to wheel contact

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the torque transfer in a system involving a motor with 100Nm torque at 40000 rpm, utilizing wheels of varying diameters (20mm and 15mm). The torque on the 15mm wheel can be determined using the relationship between the diameters of the wheels, treating them as gears or pulleys. Assuming no slip, the torque can be calculated using the formula: Torque_out = Torque_in * (Diameter_in / Diameter_out). The user seeks clarification on whether to include slip in their calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of torque calculations in mechanical systems
  • Familiarity with gear and pulley mechanics
  • Knowledge of the relationship between wheel diameters and torque transfer
  • Basic principles of rotational motion
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the formula for torque transfer in pulley systems
  • Learn about the effects of slip in mechanical systems
  • Explore the principles of gear ratios and their impact on torque
  • Study the dynamics of rotating systems and their efficiency
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, automotive engineers, and anyone involved in designing or analyzing torque transfer systems in machinery.

Hi all,

I am trying to calculate the the torque of a system which uses various size wheels to transfer power.

Explained:

A motor, of 100Nm torque, 40000 rpm, has a shaft of 7mm diameter in contact with a wheel 20mm in diameter. This wheel is in contact with a 15mm wheel.

I need to work out the torque of the 15mm wheel.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Assuming no slip between the wheels you treat them like gear/pulleys.

Do you know how to work out the change in torque on pulleys or gears?
 
Thanks!

That's the route I have been traveling down but wasnt sure if that was correct.

Is it possible to include slip?
