    sizing a AC (drive) motor for a system that requires 3 separate outputs

    Hi J, I have been reading and studying what you have done to date, it is hard for me to understand the engineering, whilst I have a natural feel with building - I do wish I had your skills, so far it is all looking really good. I was at the stage of just throwing a 7 or 8 kilowatt 8 pole motor...

    sizing a AC (drive) motor for a system that requires 3 separate outputs

    Hi J, The project has come from the need to simplify a process, if this prototype works then we have accomplished a great feat. I have the time I am able to draw and source information, though I lack the skills which you have to add the correct and much needed engineering. As for the no reply...

    sorry to here that you have pulled the pin on this, your help was the only source I had to see this project move forward, if you ever change your mind I would be very appreciative of the assistance, as I have no skills in this field.

    sizing a AC (drive) motor for a system that requires 3 separate outputs

    Hi J, thanks for showing some interest in this contraption. A. correct B. correct C. yes correct D. again correct All is observed correctly j. I will have to check my notes, I think I have stated something wrong on the sketch - that you have made me aware of, the speed of the pinch rollers...

    sizing a AC (drive) motor for a system that requires 3 separate outputs

    good day j.many thanks, its is very complex and so different to the norm, I am thinking, hoping to use double sided timing belts to tie the 3 drives together, any thougts from your end. regards Michael

    sizing a AC (drive) motor for a system that requires 3 separate outputs

    Hi jinsol, I would like to thank you for the help - I would be lost without it. Using a hand held scale it took about 5kg to pull it. I will take the time to write up a spec and re-post the drawing, might make thing easier having all info. regards and thanks Michael

    sizing a AC (drive) motor for a system that requires 3 separate outputs

    Hi, I was hoping someone could help me calculate the size of a drive to run the following, 1. a pinch roller pulling a wire total force 50n, roller radius is 28.559, 100 rpm 2. a lobe (cam roller bearing) swung off a shaft pushing a piston arrangement down, needing 100kg of force perpendicular...
