I think I just figured it out.
I just use the equation for static friction of the drive wheels and the surface.
Then use the torque equation to determine the maximum torque before slipping.
Fs = us * N
where Fs = static friction force
us = coeff of static friction
N = normal force...
Yes, there are many many factors to consider, the loading case of 1000kg is the absolute maximum that could be applied in ideal situations, realistically loads of <500kg will be more commonly used.
I've got a query, What, if any, is the difference between friction force and traction force...
That is the equation for the rolling resistance of the vehicle.
Fv = Crr * N
Fv = rolling resistance of vehicle
0.08 = coeff of rolling resistance of vehicle
45kg = mass of vehicle
Hello.
I'm trying to find the torque required of an electric vehicle to pull a 1000kg trolley on four Nylon Wheels on smooth concrete. The trolley fully supports its own weight. The vehicle has 2 rubber drive wheels of Radius( r = .125m). Now I'm not sure if am on the right track because i...
