Opposing rotational motion
Opposing rotational motion
(OP)
Hi all! I am looking to design and build a device that resists rotational motion.
I am thinking about some sort of damper, like a dashpot, but focused on opposing angular motion. Any thoughts or currently-existing devices I can look to?

RE: Opposing rotational motion
- a wide range of friction brakes (disc, drum, prony etc)
- numerous electrical devices (eddy-current brakes, generators etc)
- hydraulic brakes (positve diplacement, dynamic or viscous)
- various "air stirring" devices, club propellors etc.
You mention dampers so I assume you want a rising rate and low (or zero) torque at zero velocity. Some door closers use hydraulic dashpots butangular range is less than 180*.
