Hi all,
Question about MOI. The system consists of an electric motor, coupled to a right angle gearbox by way of a torque limiting clutch. The output of the gearbox turns a drum.
Is it valid to add the individual MOIs to find total MOI, even though the drum rotates around an axis that is perpendicular to the motor's axis of rotation? I feel like it's not, but that's how our calculations are set up.
Thanks!
