In addition to the performance of the gearbox, consider how the material selection of the gears can help achieve your application goals. Lastly, there are many parameters to consider, and calculations are critical to optimizing your application. That said, it is always good to test your solution...
A cycloidal speed reducer uses the principles of cycloidal gears to provide high gear ratios with excellent backlash, high torsional stiffness, good shock load capacity, stable operation and less wear over the gearbox life. Harmonic Reducers Harmonic reducers are gearboxes based on the strain-wave...
For you mechanical types you can think of the output transformer as a gearbox that alters speed (voltage) and torque (current). The power tubes send large voltage swing into the output transformer and you can think of this as high speed from an "engine". The transformer gears this high ...
In my tank I used a hull from a toy tank, having milled everything inside that was superfluous, to increase the useful volume. I filled all the unnecessary holes with hot melt glue. The gearbox and motors was already installed on the toy tank. For ease of access I replaced the upper p...
I am almost ready with the blade design and now wants to know what rpm the generators to choose. I asked this question 6 years ago and incidentally there is no specific answer. If there is a formula to determine the rpm of rotor blades w.r.t input velocity of wind. Then I can bui...
Aside from the technical specifications mentioned above, there is also the need to select the proper configuration for the actuator in the final design. This includes mounting considerations and the need for any other external components, such as holding brakes and communication and power cables. ...
Nb = gearbox/bearings efficiency (depends, could be as high as 95% if good) Use half of the potential, as calculated above, for basis in further calculations. Replace rho with density of water for an interesting result. Everyone with more than 2 brain cells understands that CO2 emissions *...
Since the telephone was invented more than 130 years ago, people have changed the design to make it better. Early telephones were large and boxy. Making a call may have involved winding a handle or turning a dial. 66 When was the first telephone patented? Better by design Meet an engineer...
A gearbox is a device that transfers mechanical power from a motor to another part of the machine. While a motor is designed to provide mechanical energy in the form of speed and torque, a gearbox is used in conjunction with a motor to reduce the output speed of the motor while increasing...
The basis for these calculations is the average wind speed in each grid cell extrapolated to the hub height of a turbine installed on a building, but the main driver for the results is the number of buildings per cell (Figure 5). Hence, it is not surprising that annual production is rath...
