Hello I am new to this forum. I need to lift a part with the use of a motor and was looking for some advise in selecting a suitable one. The part being lifted weighs 275kg and is being lifted using lugs at one end of the part. The part is a total length of 2291mm and the location for holes in the lugs that will be used for lifting the part are 2256mm from the end of the part. I thought to work this out I could treat the part as a 2256mm beam with a point load of (275x9.81)2697.75N at end of the beam. I then multiplied the force(2697.75N) by the distance of 2.256m to work out the force acting on the lifting point of 6086.124N. Finally I divided 6086.124N by 9.81 to get 620.4kg and so I think the motor should at least need to be able to handle 620.4kg in order to lift the part. Does anyone know if this is the right calculation to do?
