I am working on sizing a stepper motor, and I'm curious how resistive torques will affect motor selection. Let's say the system has an inertia ratio of 2, which is well within the recommended values of 1 to 10.
If the system has a lot of resistive torque caused by friction, less than but a...
Good clarification, my application would be in a high pressure Hydrogen gas environment.
I was thinking of possible failure modes, and was assuming any electrical component has the potential to spark or arc
I am sure there are many reasons why it's a bad idea to put a stepper motor/gearbox/clutch inside a tank pressurized with hydrogen, but all I can think of so far is hydrogen embrittlement of the metal components. What other risks/concerns are there? Sparking and explosion isn't a concern...
