I'm not entirely sure what equations you're working off of, but I used the
F=M*A
and
VF2=VI2 + 2*A*D
902=02 + 2*A*.035
A = 115714 m/s2
F = .003 * 115714 = 347 Newtons
that is using a 3 gram object and a 3.5 cm distance. less distance would be better, but more force would be required...
when i intoned 3.5 cm or less, the emphasis was on "or less". Preferably, the distance would be as little as possible.
end game purpose is to accelerate a 3 gram object to 90 m/s within a 50-60 ms time frame.
really what im looking for is any knowledge on ultra-high flux solenoids and...
sreid: yes the application only requires it to move forward and immediately backward into its resting state, so an arrangement like that would be necessary.
Mike Halloran: don't know what a ballscrew is
sorry, I realized later I left out some info.
The stroke distance needs to be around 3.5 cm or less
As for the current and voltage, the power source will need to be a battery thats portable enough to tote around. Given that it needs to be portable and small/light, the voltage and current will...
I'm trying to guage whether or not a solenoid will be able to produce enough force for my intended application. Most commercial solenoids I see sold fail to produce enough force so I was very interested when I read that complicated and hard to assemble magnetic solenoids can attain much higher...
