I hate to beat a dead horse, as this thread is quite old, but I've been thinking about this situation recently, and I have a question.
In the situation presented where the Chiaphau is contributing NEGATIVE work to the system, would adding an Overrun Bearing/Coupling help in any way?
This would allow the Chiaphau to contribue ZERO work to the system in the case where the free speed of the system was higher than than the free speed of the Chiaphau. As the torque requirements increase, and speeds decrease, the Overrun Bearing would allow the Chiaphau to contribue POSITIVE work.
In effect, you would only be adding the Chiaphau motor to the equation in situations where it's really needed.
Thoughts?
