DC Motor - Torque required
That would be good but I dont yet have the cylinders either. Anyway I think I ll just switch to a bigger motor to be sure. Thanks a lot for your help!!- dalou

DC Motor - Torque required
I just found a motor with 0.30Nm very similar to the one I had in mind.. Would that be plenty or is it marginal again?- dalou

DC Motor - Torque required
drawoh thanks again for your response! No there is no mechanical engineer here unfortunately, so I have to figure this out myself.. Also, I should make clear that I am not looking for a marginal solution and calculating the exact numbers would not be required. So you think 12.5Ncm may not be...- dalou

DC Motor - Torque required
First of all, thank you for your response. I do not mind about acceleration of the cylinder and how long it will take to reach the required speed. My only problem is if the torque provided will be enough to outdraw the friction of the system. Friction will be caused by rotating the cylinder...- dalou

DC Motor - Torque required
Hi all, I am new here as i want to ask something about an engineering project i am working on. I need a motor to rotate a 200 grams cylinder which will be hanging from the motor's shaft (vertically). I wanted less than 100 rpm so the motor I chose is a 2.1W 6V DC motor with a 50:1 reductor that...- dalou
