Go to Post I urge them to build the kitbot and repeateadly smash it into a concrete wall in order to sate their anger. It will soon wane when they manage to do more damage to the wall than to the kitbot. That is honestly the reason that we ended up using the kitframe this year. - Andrew Blair [more]

how to model motor+gearbox



What is the accepted wisdom here on CD of the "correct" way to model a motor plus gearbox combination[1]?

More specifically, if I have

- a motor with given free current, free speed, stall current, and stall speed, and

- a gearbox with given gear ratio and "efficiency"

... and I combine them together,

then what is the free current, free speed, stall current, and stall speed of that combination?


For example, suppose I bolt a CIM to a gearbox that has ratio 10:1 and efficiency 90%. Then:

- the free speed at the gearbox shaft should be slightly slower than 1/10th of the CIM's free speed, because of the friction in the gearbox... but how much slower?

- the free current should be slightly more than the CIM's free current (because of the torque load of the gearbox friction), but how much more?

- the stall current should be exactly the same as the CIM stall current

- the stall torque would be less than 10 times the CIM's stall torque, but how much less?

- assume a linear behavior between free and stall points?



Endnotes:

1] I'm talking about a simple model for hand calculations for FRC purposes, not a complex simulation.
