    Flywheel Rpm
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the RPM of a flywheel, initial data is essential, such as dimensions or speed of a connected component. Without running the flywheel, calculations may rely on theoretical values or known parameters. Suggestions for determining RPM include using formulas based on torque and power or measuring the time taken for a specific number of rotations. Accurate calculations require a clear understanding of the system's mechanics. Ultimately, having baseline information is crucial for any RPM calculation.

I need to calculate the rpm of my flywheel on my wobbler so I can determine which flowmeter to use. Any suggestions? Is there any way to calculate rpm without running the flywheel?

It depends entirely on what you know to start with. You have to have some sort of information to begin the calculation, and you have not identified any at all.

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...
