I need to design a mechanical stopper with a spring feature but before I do this I need to caculate the force for which a gimbal will strike it.
The gimbal is cylindrical in shape and not uniform in shape and rotates about the x axis, its long side. Rotates 120 degress in a 1/4 second and the total mass of it is .415lbs.
I am having a hard time trying to figure out what equations I need to determine the force that will strike the stopper.
The overall length of the gimbal is 3.14inches, the motor is .591 inches from the left side. The point of impact is .466 from the left and .125 from the motor.
I pretty much have the equations I need to design the spring like stopper so the only thing holding me back is trying to derive the force of the gimbal.
Thank you!
