Calculation help

There are 3 variables to calculate the peripheral speed of a roller/drum:
-Diameter of the roller/drum
-Speed
-Speed
If two are known, the third can be calculated

Calculate the peripheral speed of a drum

Calculate RPM

Calculate the diameter of the drum

Diameter in mm

Peripheral speed in m/s

RPM

Diameter of drum mm

Peripheral speed in m/s

Diameter of drum mm

Kraft och vridmoment

In order to be able to size the appropriate motor and gear, we need to calculate the force required to move the object to be moved.
The force consists of gravity and friction. If there is no height difference, it is just friction.

Calculate the component of gravity in the direction of movement

Weight of what is being transported, kg

Weight of the equipment that is moving, kg

inclination, °

Coefficient of friction (0–1)

Chosen drum diameter mm

Force due to inclination, N

Friction force, N

Torque, Nm
