Set up SOLIDWORKS clock "IN" 15:33 clock "OUT" 17:52

target = 100 in-lbf (8.5 ft-lbf)

PG71 = 16.6 ft-lbf / 75rpm

... ok so that's not so bad.

builtin worm gearbox = 30:1 ratio shaft is a 5/8" shaft with a 1/2" long D-shaft stub: 1/2" diameter, 3/8" to the flat, with a cross-pin meant to capture a 1/4" (.266 actual) plate. The 5/8" section is 1" long.

full range of spider angle is 120deg

let's say 2 seconds to full completion that's 60deg/sec (10 rpm) times a 30:1 gear ratio is 300 rpm times a 2:1 gear ratio is 600 rpm which is NOT in range for a PG71; by about an order of magnitude The pg71 would take about 20 seconds to do a full changeover which is pretty long...

how fast does a 5 deg adjustment need to take? ballpark 0.5s that's 10deg/s (1.6666666 rpm) times 30:1 times 2:1 is 100 rpm which is pretty similar to a pg71

Sent email to https://www.klaubergear.com/contact-us-kmg asking for a motor with 100RPM free and 30 ft-lbf stall

#35 Chain

15T - $18.21 30T - $48.48 2ft - $10.14 Total: $76.83 ... huh. Surprising that actually starts to get competitive with GT2 stuff.

25 or 35?

#25: 140lbf working #35: 480lbf working

15T #25: 100 inlbf / (0.25015/pi)/2 = 167 lbf in chain which is a lot!

15T #35: 100 inlbf / (0.37515/pi)/2 = 112 lbf in chain which is well within working

#35 is probably the way to go, especially for now.

Final observations

The drive shaft will need to be different. So you might as well put the drive mechanism on what is currently the nut side, so you don't have to worry about the locking mechanism.

8A x 12V = 96W

96W x 12s = 1152 J -> 16F capacitor

Hey... you know you were measuring the whole system current, not just the motor, right? Hmm.

Oh man there's so much on agleader's site

OK, but... an auxillary battery might be a better solution than a power unit. We are doing sporadic high current, not continuous lower current.

400A * 12s * 50 times / (3600 h/s) = 66 Ah = a car battery

TONE DETECTION IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

LM567

LM567CN is a DIP fo = 1 / (1.1 * R1 * C1) fo = 1 Hz ? R1 * C1 = 0.9 w 0.1 uF cap = 9 Mohm

fo = 5 Hz solve 5 = 1/(1.1 * x * 0.1e-6) for x -> R1 = 2Mohm

100mA current sinking for output

LM567CN + L7805CP + Or gate (drive signal at 12V)

the 567 is high frequency = low low frequency = high so make the signal low frequency = high so OR gate (74LS32)

  • Space out the actuator

  • Put a USB port on the control box

  • Put SD card logging in the control box

  • Design mount for the center sensor
