AdityaDev said:To start rotating any object, there has to be an unbalanced torque. Let the torque required be ##\tau##.
What is the change in angular momentum when rod starts rotating with the required RPM starting from rest?
AdityaDev said:Are you familiar with this equation: ##\tau=\Delta I\omega##
AdityaDev said:Assuming its a rod rotating about one end, I=(1/3)ML^2
AdityaDev said:I is the moment of inertia which is analogous to mass in rotational mechanics. M is the mass and L is length of rod.
Than Unit come in N-m2/s ? bcz w unit is rad/s and I N-m2 so bit confuse in thisAdityaDev said:So you can find the torque using the equation in post 4
Ok thank you so much.AdityaDev said:Oops... I am very sorry.
its ##\tau=I\alpha=I\frac{d\omega}{dt}##
I assume that you want to know the torque needed to keep it turning once it has reached speed and is being used. The operating torque will depend on the contact pattern with the swept area, the velocity of travel and the friction between the brush and the swept surface.Tejas Patel said:Can anybody tell me how to calculate torque for rotating sweeper machine broom?

The size of the bristles on the brush will have a significant effect. Use the biggest bristles that will do the job.
Review the marketing information from manufacturers of sweeping machines. Make a list of published motor HP and brush RPM. From that you can calculate torque since power is torque multiplied by RPM.
May be this start up torque, So can i need more torque to rotate it constant ?Baluncore said:Broom Dia is - 0.6 m. Weight - 150 Kg.
A quick estimate begins with 150kg * 9.8 = 1470. N
Coefficient of friction is 0.1 so force needed is 1470 * 0.1 = 147N
Diameter is 600mm therefore radius is 300mm = 0.3m.
Torque needed is 147.N * 0.3m = 44.1 Newton.metre
44.1 Nm is an estimate of the continuous operating torque while being used. You may need more torque to start the rotation, but that will only be if you need to accelerate it quickly, or if it is started while it is in contact with a panel.Tejas Patel said:May be this start up torque, So can i need more torque to rotate it constant ?
Torque is a measure of the twisting force applied to an object. In the context of a sweeper machine broom, torque is important because it determines the rotational force needed to spin the broom and effectively sweep debris.
To calculate the torque for a sweeper machine broom, you need to know the force applied to the broom (in newtons) and the distance from the force to the center of rotation (in meters). The torque is then calculated by multiplying the force by the distance (T = F x d).
The torque needed for a sweeper machine broom can be affected by various factors such as the type and weight of debris being swept, the speed of the machine, and the condition of the broom itself. Additionally, the angle of the broom and the friction between the broom and the ground can also impact the torque required.
The optimal torque for a sweeper machine broom will depend on the specific conditions and needs of your cleaning task. It is important to consider the factors mentioned in the previous question and test different torque levels to find the most effective and efficient option for your machine.
Yes, there is a maximum torque limit for a sweeper machine broom. Exceeding this limit can lead to damage or malfunction of the broom. It is important to consult the manufacturer's guidelines and specifications to ensure that the broom is not being subjected to excessive torque.
