I am looking for some help in setting up the calculation to find the force required by the actuator to move the lever with the applied force. Driftlimiter and tick gave some helpful insight into how i might go about calculating with various angles/arm lengths. Essentially i need to size an...
"Is the base of the actuator B a fixed distance from and at the same elevation as the hinge of lever A? I believe you need this info to solve the geometry."
No, but wouldn't the forces acting on the lever arm from the load and the cylinder be calculated from the angles?
The spreadsheet is an...
Hey guys, sorry for the late response. Definitely not a textbook question. I have a parallel linkage mechanism I'm working towards developing and I wanted to simplify the linkage to get the force on one arm/side. See attached spreadsheet and linkage images with complete geometry. F1 does indeed...
Hi,
Looking to calculate the force required to move a lever arm with a force acting at an angle on the end of it. See diagram below.
Essentially the position of this arm is variable from Θ70° to 20°.
Thanks in advance for any...
