Hi all,
I am curently working for a small company as a developement engineer and I have to design a basic gear system to rotate a robot bird.I am not very experienced with gears and i am finding it hard to create a ratio of 1:10 within a relativly small space (approx. 250mm x 100mm x 165mm)with...
Thanks all, for the responses so far.
drawoh- position and acceleration are not key with this design. I would like the bird to turn at approx. 0.5 rev/sec.
Taking the bird as a sphere, it's diameter is 350mm.
My main concern is the torque neccessary to turn the shaft coneected to the bird...
hi all,
I am currently looking to create a gearing system in order to turn a model bird around in circles from a 12v stepper motor.
My main problem is I am not sure how to calculate the torque neccessary, from my geared system, to turn the bird.
I have taken the centre of gravity to act...
