Thanks guys! I think that due to our need to spin faster, we will be using a higher-RPM motor because we need the motor, though the pros of lower-rpm seem to outweigh the cons.
I appreciate all the help -- i plan on reading up on the Cowern Papers to hopefully make my motor knowledge more robust
Hi all,
I'm a mechanical engineer and my knowledge on electrical motors is limited so I'm asking for some help here. I need a motor to spin a shaft which will be geared to another shaft. I have the power needed, but I'm wondering if there is a difference in a 1750RPM motor or a 3500RPM motor...
Hi all,
I'm looking to save a SolidWorks assembly as a single-body part so that dimensions cannot be taken from this, and in the model tree, it says only one part is in view instead of multiple bodies. I used to know how to do it, but time has erased that part of my memory. Any help on this...
JMirisola, Thanks for the reply!
What we ended up doing is creating the shaft with a circular knob on the end of the shaft to simulate the impeller with two cutouts and put a force on each cutout to simulate the torque from the motor via the impeller. As it turns out, the torque on the shaft...
Hi all,
I'm looking to do an FEA on a stubshaft that has an impeller at the end of it. Mostly, I'm looking to simulate the torque from the motor on the shaft along with the forces of the impeller. Keeping the impeller in place is a key between the shaft and impeller. The problem I'm having with...
