I am trying to build a motorized cable drum which retracts the cable lying on the ground. I am using a 165rpm 1.3Nm (continuous torque) spur geared DC motor. I have a small sprocket (05-B1 standard, 22 teeth) connected to the motor shaft and have a bigger sprocket (05-B1 standard, 50 teeth)...
As per the datasheet(page 58), PMAX = 33,516,139 = 0x1FF6A6B, the instantaneous power
computed when the ADC inputs are at full scale. So will dividing the value obtained from the register by Pmax give me the actual wh value ?
Thanks for your reply. But the values given out of these registers are 32 bit. I was thinking how do I convert it to the actual value. I think there is some conversion factor.
I have interfaced a smart energy meter IC (ADE7878) to a microcontroller. The datasheet of the IC can be found here, http://www.analog.com/media/en/techn..._7868_7878.pdf. As per the datasheet, on page 50 total active power of each phase can be read from the registers AWATTHR, BWATTHR, and...
I am using a smart energy meter which allows me to set the CT ratio among other parameters. I am using 50/5 ratio AC CT's. For the meter to do the kwh calculation correctly, I believe I have to set primary CT ratio to 50 and secondary CT ratio to 5. Now, if I have two rounds of the same 120 volt...

Guys, I have added a video explaining the problem I am facing. Hope this gives a clear picture.
Also, the one way bearing is connected to the motor shaft via a keyway slot on the bearing and a key on the shaft. I am trying to use the same cycle chain and sprocket...
I am developing a motorized cable reel. I am using a geared DC motor to drive central cable drum on which the cable rests. This cable reel is only used to automatically retract the cable back once the cable is pulled out. The cable is pulled out manually by hand from the cable reel. I am using a...
Hello All. I am trying to make make a digital measurement tape (Round type which retracts back once pulled out and let go). So, as the tape or thread is pulled out, the distance sensor should be able to detect how much length has been pulled out. I had a hall sensor and a few magnets in mind...
I would be using a 48 volts power supply itself since that would give me full torque. Also, around 100-120rpm at the shaft of the gearbox is good for my application which would need the stepper motor to run at 800-960rpm or let's keep it at 1000rpm.
I am making a motorized cord reel. I am using a stepper motor with a gear with a gear ratio of 8:1. I need to run my application at 100 RPM. To retract the cord reel at 100 rpm at the output of the gear shaft , I need to run the motor at 800 rpm since gear ratio is 8:1. The torque at the motor...
Attached below is a drawing of the motor with the gear.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=61002aaf-6f75-4851-bfcb-7c95cf6aedf3&file=stepper1.png
The bipolar geared stepper motor I am planning to use has a resistance/ phase of 8.5 ohms per phase, inductance of 2.14mH per phase , normal current per phase is 2 amps, holding torque of motor is 0.8Nm, gearbox ratio is 1:8, holding torque of gearbox is 6.4Nm. The maximum permissible RPM of...
@Mike It's not about the cost. I have different plans when compared to build plan compared to your regular ones. So, I wanted to know what kind of locks are used to startoff with.
I was looking to build a RFID operated turnstile similar to picture below. I will have RFID readers on both ends where the door would open from either end only if the RFID is authenticated on either end. I was wondering what are the type of locks used in these turnstiles which open the...
Hi. I am using a motorized AC power cable reel for my electric charging station. The AC cable reel uses a industrial socket which is connected to the plug in the vehicle. I am facing two challenges here. One is that the socket gets damaged with frequent usage as it brushes against the road. To...
