Thanks for the comments.
I made a mistake in my original question. We measured about 4 in-oz of friction in the system. In the past, we have analyzed impacts like this by setting the KE of the rotating element equal to the PE of the "hard stop" (usually made up of springs). This allows you to...
I need help calculating the amount a rotating output shaft will bounce back after hitting a hard stop. The inertia of the rotating element is 4.85 E-04 oz-in-sec^2. This inertia is rotating at a speed of 2300 rad/sec. Between the load inertia and the hard stop is a torsion spring that has an...
