    Overhead Conveyor Load Torque

    Hi @mfgenggear There are so many unknowns,but I don't think the details about the motor and the gearbox are necessary. I just want to know how to convert the 4,350Kg full load capacity of our conveyor to torque. I have data that the allowable torque at the output of the gearbox is 49Kg-m...

    Overhead Conveyor Load Torque

    Hi @3DDave I just need an estimate so I can assume that the rolling frictions and other variables to be negligible. The allowable torque at the output of the gearbox is 49Kg-m. The ratio of the conveyor sprocket to the gearbox sprocket is 50 teeths/14 teeths, so I assume the allowable torque of...
