Calculating Damper Torque for an actuator
Calculating Damper Torque for an actuator
(OP)
I'm trying to calculate the maximum torque on a damper to select an actuator. The damper will be made in-house so there are no manufacturer damper torque ratings. Is there a method to calculating the maximum torque of the damper in operation without using a damper torque rating?
Also this is for a single blade damper with the pivot point at the end of the blade, most manufacturer websites only have information for multi-blade dampers.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this is right for my application however. And how to account for forces acting on the damper from air velocity.

Unfortunately we don't have the time or resources to plan a test for this, it's very much in the stage of getting a complete prototype unit built as soon as possible so I'd like to size the actuator now based on theoretical calculations rather than test results.
