    hex shaft coupler

    The application calls for aligned zero offset axial connection of 40in-lb at 2000rpm to 3000rpm. Regular tape or glue probably wont work. I thought of making a coupler by filling up a steel tube (with square cross section) with epoxy and inserting the shafts into the epoxy but I am not sure if...

    hex shaft coupler

    I need to connect a 5/16 hex shaft to a 1/2 shaft machined to this cross section: http://www.robotcombat.com/images/store_dustinshaft_lg.jpg Any suggestion what my options are without custom fabrication? Thanks. Vog

    Optimal BLDC current/torque calibration?

    Yes theoretically that is the case. However some motors might be driven with multiple coils, and the coil geometry is not perfect, and the magnets do change over time. So I think current/torque characteristic should be calibrated, ideally. Besides, a controller should know how a motor behaves...

    Optimal BLDC current/torque calibration?

    Hi I am looking to build a BLDC controller that can accurately control torque. Ideally the controller will take the current shaft position and torque demand and set the current in each coil accordingly. This would require the controller to know the exact current-torque characteristics of the...

    Sizing an alternator as BLDC servo

    Note that the current ratings of the alternator is not to be exceeded - that is the stator will always operate under 200A. The overall system capacity of 100V 200A seems ample enough for 5KW output, right? The field (rotor) winding will operate at higher than stated rating, probably up to 2~3...

    Sizing an alternator as BLDC servo

    Hi everybody I would like to get some feedback on my motor sizing analysis. I am looking to build a custom traction application that requires 0~800lb pulling force and up to 10m/s pulling speed. The max mechanical output is probably around 5 KW. Both the force and the speed need to be...
