Simple Motor Calculator
I created this small app for my own use, then realized that others might find it interesting/fun/handy. Constructive criticism and error reports welcome. Note: for those looking for something more comprehensive, check out JVN's calculator. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2059 |
Re: paper: Simple Motor Calculator
The updated version will allow you to enter a desired motor power, and it will then calculate the rpm range, the torque range, and the current range over which the motor will deliver at least that much power.
Also, if there is some reason why you want to always operate the motor at or above a certain efficiency, you can enter the desired efficiency and it will calculate the rpm range, the torque range, the current range over which the motor will operate at an efficiency equal to or greater than the entered number. |

Re: paper: Simple Motor Calculator
I have updated the motor calculator for the 9015 (am-0912) and PG71 (am-0914) 2012 motors. The app is now 32-bit so it should now run in 64-bit Windows (XP & 7). I am re-working the floating-point error trapping and will update again when that is done. Enjoy. |
Re: paper: Simple Motor Calculator
Floating-point exception handling added. MCALC32c. Works in 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. Scrollable window. Includes 9015 (am-0912), PG71 (am-0914), and fc12-20 motors. |
Re: paper: Simple Motor Calculator
For anyone who has downloaded MCALC32, please be advised that the specs for the PG71 gearmotor are in dispute1. As soon as this is settled, I will update the calculator. Sorry for any inconvenience. 1 http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=99488 |

Re: paper: Simple Motor Calculator
Here's a copy-and-paste ticker tape output from the motor calculator. If you disagree with any of the specs please let me know. Thanks: Code:

Re: paper: Simple Motor Calculator
Team Update #2 (2012-01-13) added FP-9012 to [R48] and kept FP-9013. The motor calculator supports the FP-9012. As soon as specs for FP-9013 become available I will add them to the calculator. |
Re: paper: Simple Motor Calculator
The motor calculator has been updated with the latest (1/16/2012) lab data for the am-0914 gearmotor. I decided to incorporate 2 separate sets of motor specs for this gearmotor: one for brand-new (unused) gearmotor, and... since the lab data indicated a significant difference. ** ACTUAL GEARMOTOR PERFORMANCE PROBABLY LIES SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ** Links to the 3 lab report PDF documents can be found at the bottom of this web page. If you have even a passing interest in motor testing, you will find this interesting reading. DOES ANYONE HAVE SPECS FOR THE FISHER-PRICE FP-000968-9013 ??? |
Re: paper: Simple Motor Calculator
Motor calculator has been updated to MCALC32t and includes:
The calculator now gives the user the option to select which specs to use for am-0914, since there are 3 different sets of specs (explained in the am-0914 options menu). |

Re: paper: Simple Motor Calculator
MCALC32aa adds a UserDefined motor to the motor selection menu. EDIT: MCALC32ab adds exception handling to user-defined motor input |
Re: paper: Simple Motor Calculator
WOW!!! How did you do this? I have been looking for a graph of the information so I could get the general values, but this is far better!
