Trying to calculate motor kW/reduction drive for lift of 100kg at 0.8m /sec

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the motor size needed to lift a 100kg weight at a speed of 0.8 m/s, first determine the required power, which is approximately 784 watts or 1 HP. The gear reduction ratio and drum diameter are crucial for this calculation, as they directly influence the motor RPM and cable speed. A common approach is to select a motor RPM and reasonable drum size, then adjust the gear reduction accordingly. For example, with a 1750 RPM motor and a 10:1 gear reduction, the drum diameter would need to be about 8.7 cm to achieve the desired cable velocity. Accurate calculations are essential for selecting the appropriate motor and gearbox combination.

need to calculate motor kw/reduction drive for lift of 100kg at .8mtrs /sec
Hi
need to calculate 240v/315v motor size attached to reduction gearbox (reduction unknown) to lift a weight of 100kg on cable drum .8mtr/sec.
Drum dia not determined yet.
motor size not determined yet.
any help is greatly appreciated as this seems to be out of depth of many motor drum winch suppliers and myself.
thanks

Welcome to PF.

What is the application? How far do you have to lift it?
 
Single or 3 phase?

Step 1: calculate the power you need, then double it.

Step 2: pick a common motor rpm and "reasonable" drum size, then calculate the reduction. Adjust as seems appropriate.
 
Ignoring acceleration.
The change in PE per second = m·g·h = 100 * 9.8 * 0.8 = 784 watt ≈ 1 HP.
 
Finally, the gear reduction ##GR##, drum diameter ##d## (in meters), and motor ##RPM## are linked in the following way:
$$v = \frac{\pi}{60} \times d \times \frac{RPM}{GR}$$
Or
$$d = \frac{19.1 \times GR \times v}{RPM}$$
Where ##v## is the cable speed in meters per second. For example, given a motor of 1750 RPM and a gear reduction of 10:1, the drum diameter would be 0.087 meters or 8.7 cm to get a cable velocity of 0.8 m/s.
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
