    Need some clarification with torque or force and gear ratio

    Thanks, and the reason that I get a greater force is because they spin together with the same ω the torque is also the same on both, but the radius is difference right? and for chain and sprocket, what do they both have? The tangential force is the same right? but the larger sprocket have a...

    Need some clarification with torque or force and gear ratio

    Hi guys, I have a question about gear ratio, sprocket or wheel ratio. So let's say I have a motor with connect to a small output sprocket, and I want to use this motor to pull some load, so in order to do this I need to connect the chain with a larger sprocket, let's say 2 time bigger than...

    How do you calculate the amount of torque you need to pull an object?

    So, let say I know the radius of the pulley which I will use to pull the object. Let's say we are doing it vertically. then the torque that I need to overcome the weight of the object will have to be T = r x mg ? and with this, what are the other information that I need to obtain in order to...

    How do you calculate the amount of torque you need to pull an object?

    I only know that the motor is the regular small size 3v DC one, 3mm shaft i believe. Other than the speed of 8300 RPM, the cover of the motor doesn't say anything. And I googled for the equation for calculating the power or torque of the motor. However, all of them involve either knowin the...

    How do you calculate the amount of torque you need to pull an object?

    HI guys, I am trying to build a pulley with a gear box. So I want my pulley, which is operate by a 3V DC motor with max speed of 8300 RPM. I think the size of the output shaft is 3mm Ok, so Can someone help me with how to calculate the original amount of torque I can get out of this...

    How do factories assemble hickory wood claw hammer?

    Hi guys, I am wondering about how people make wood claw hammer a simple one with just a handle, the head, and 1 wedge. It is fully automatic, let say they have all the parts previously made, and they only need to press a button to assemble all the hammer. How could the assembly be done...

    How much power is needed to steer tires?

    that is what I was thinking. That is why I am trying to do this as simple as possible xD
  8. Q

    How much power is needed to steer tires?

    would the power needed to turn the wheels while stationary be greater than while moving? of so than using the motor with that much power would be fine.

    How much power is needed to steer tires?

    I just want it to turn, returning isn't necessary. and I don't get the way you expressed power. since I don't have any idea about the amount of time i want it to rotate. I just want it to be able to turn and stay turned is fine to me. would it be possible to find the force to over come the...

    How much power is needed to steer tires?

    Homework Statement I am trying to design a car with simple front rack-and-pinion steering system. Exactly like this one I am having trouble find the right motor for the job, assuming typical tire of regular car and the car weight 1ton (included everything) The shape will be simple...

    Designing simple car with suspension and brake system

    Thanks Berkeman, I am still kinda lost, but I guess I 'll try to find some sort of data to work with.

    Designing simple car with suspension and brake system

    Hi Walter, thanks for that reply. The thing is there isn't any specified requirements such as weight and size or speed. since the person is walking along the side of the car so I assume that it is 5mph. As for the weight, I am still not sure if that should be calculated given certain...

    Designing simple car with suspension and brake system

    oh actually, i left this part out the vehicle is controlled by a hard wired tether from the vehicle to the operator walking along the side of it. The working mechanism of that purpose is not important since we have no knowledge about electricity. So it is like a toy car with a wired remote...

    Designing simple car with suspension and brake system

    Homework Statement This is just for a formal engineering report, no product will be made. for my ME class, one of the very first courses. pre-requisite for this class is only vector static. This is the first week of class, and the lectures covered the role of engineers... I am being...
