How much weight can a DC motor lift?
The maximum torque is given as 1.2 kg*cm (which includes the gearbox-transition), which means having wheels with an radius of 1 cm (or 2cm in diameter) will give you a force that is equivalent to 1.2 kg in weight at nominal voltage, as long as your electronics can provide a current of 300 mA (load current).
Which motor is used for lifting heavy objects at high speed?
You can use a synchronous motor, an induction motor, a DC shunt/separately excited motor or a DC series motor. You may like to go with a high speed motor with a reduction gear arrangement as that will reduce the size of the overall system.
How to calculate the weight my DC motor can move?
The other Torque number you need to get is the “running torque”, which will be much lower than stall torque. Realistic Torque you can expect to get from the motor without destroying it could be more along the lines of 4KG/Cm, but that is just a guess – check your motor specifications data sheet.
How do I interpret DC gear motor specifications?
Choosing the right DC Motor (or DC gear motor) for a specific application can be a daunting task and many manufacturers only provide basic motor specifications. These basic specifications might not be sufficient for your needs. Listed below are ideal motor specifications and whenever possible, ways to approximate values.
What kind of DC motor do I need to lift 100lbs?
A 100lb weight is about 50kg, is about 500N. If you want to lift that at 1m/s, you will need 500 W, or maybe 2kW electrical input. Not possible in your 50mm dia motor. If you want to lift at 1mm/s, you will need 0.5W, perhaps 2W electrical input.
How much torque can a DC motor get?
Realistic Torque you can expect to get from the motor without destroying it could be more along the lines of 4KG/Cm, but that is just a guess – check your motor specifications data sheet. Thanks for contributing an answer to Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange!
