An honest application:
Needed torque at output: 2500 in.lbs. (give or take a little - ok) Output speed: 4 rpm (give or take a little - ok) Reversable Self-locking Duty-cycle: a few times a day running one-two minutes. Input: Speed ~ whatever it takes (within $ reason) to net the above output ;
1750 rpm 3 phase 240v motor controlled by a 1 phase 115v source like an AC Tech controller.NOTE: NONE of the items have been spec'd yet. The above noted motor came from a dual-drive worm system suggestion for the above noted output.
Someone suggested that PLASTIC gears are possible here. (??)
How do I compute the HP of the required motor?
"White" paper on this subject ~ where, pls.
Does a planetary gear sysetm make sense here -or- a multi-stage worm drive?
