Re: Calculating Linear Force from Motor Torque?
Gotcha, thanks so much!
Just a quick question.
Right now we have it set up such that the motor has an 80 tooth gear, turning a 40 tooth gear, which is on the same axle as a rack and pinion gear (32 tooth I believe).
I feel like the calculation is a bit different in this case.
My assumption is that I can say the motor torque "doubles" from the gear ratio, lending to a 283 * 2 oz-in torque on the axle w/ the 40 tooth and pinion gear.
At this point, do I use the radius of the pinion gear to determine linear force on the rack and pinion?
