Hi,
I'm trying to calculate the input torque required in a worm gearbox to produce a known torque at the output shaft. But I'm struggling to find a calculation that will do the job.
I have a unit, for which I know the output torque and the number of teeth and starts in the worm gear box...
If I were to use an actuator, I would need a stoke of 175mm and a speed of around 4mm/sec at full load. The problem is the closed install height of the actuator can only be a max of 260mm (centre of fixings.
Unfortunatly I'm very limited for space and I searched extensivly for an actuator that will do the job but to no avail. I have been able to fit a gas spring in but that is able to offer me a stoke that is more than 80% of the install height. Actuators only seem to be able to offer a max of...
I am currently designing a mechanism which uses a leadscrew to drive apart two apposing arms. The leadscrew is the output shaft of a geared valeo motor unit. I think it is normally used as a seat adjuster in cars. Although this motor is fairly torquey, is begins to struggle as I increase the...
