Ok This is a long question so bear with me. BACKGROUND: I am designing a set of crush drums that counter rotate (similar to a rock crusher). One Drum is adjustable to increase/decrease distance between drums. Each drum is 170mm in diameter, 200mm long, made from 10mm thick steel. They are chain driven by a 0.75hp motor (550w, 50hz, geared down from 1400rpm to 155rpm)

Ok so this is where it takes some imagination, If you could please tell me what I am missing and if I had it how to carry out the equation.
I want to find out:
- what the maximum force the drums could take without jamming
- Torque (the original rpm was 1400 but from a series of sprockets the rpm is now 155)
- What force is exhorted by the drums
I have blades on my drums. One drum can be adjusted on the x axis. How does this affect my equations.
Could someone please take their time to explain this to me. Attached is a 3D pdf of my CAD. The belt and pulleys represent chain and sprockets
Extra Info: Each drum is welded onto a 350mm steel axle with a diameter of 25mm. Each drum has a 10mm thick plate either side with a 25mm hole in which the axle passes through. The axle sits in a heavy duty flanged bearing. The way the drums are powered are by sprockets and chains in the exact same layout as this charcoal crusher http://www.wolterpyrotools.com/image/charcoal_crusher_2000.jpg except instead of a handle, another sprocket leads a chain to the 0.75hp motor
Regards,
Will
