What kind of an electric motor with a reducer is needed for this?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

To select an appropriate electric motor with a reducer for a system requiring a speed of 55 mm/s, it is essential to calculate the necessary gear reduction ratio based on the available motor RPM and the sprocket configuration. A 9-tooth sprocket will move 9 rollers per revolution, which directly influences the required motor specifications. Additionally, understanding the load dynamics, such as whether the chain transports items or lifts masses, is crucial for determining the motor power needed, utilizing kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) equations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gear reduction ratios
  • Familiarity with electric motor specifications and RPM
  • Knowledge of kinetic and potential energy calculations
  • Basic principles of mechanical systems involving chains and sprockets
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to calculate gear reduction ratios for electric motors
  • Learn about selecting electric motors based on load requirements
  • Explore the principles of kinetic and potential energy in mechanical systems
  • Investigate the impact of sprocket size on chain speed and motor performance
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, mechanical designers, and anyone involved in selecting electric motors for automated systems requiring precise speed and load management.

You're going to need to put more effort into it than that. Give us a paragraph describing in some detail what you are trying to do.
 
What chain speed do you need in rollers or links per second? What motor speeds in RPM are available? A 9 tooth sprocket will move 9 rollers of the chain per revolution. From that, gear reduction ratio can be calculated.

To calculate motor power; Does the chain transport an item, how often? If so, energy = KE = ½ m·v² will be needed to accelerate each item. Does the chain lift or lower a mass? If so, energy will be consumed or released, PE = m·g·h
