    Math question for engineers

    Need someone to steer me in the right direction. How do I figure the power to move a 100 pound object from 0 to 2000 in/min in 1 second sitting on and attached to linear bearings with a friction coefficient of practically 0? What is my equation?

        yeah?

        i just got done with my senior design project. Cantilever beam with an applied load reading strain through a DAQ. Theres a lot of little shit in there to make it read without bouncing.

          Yea I dont know the mechanical engineering end of it. I need a lot of help with it. The motion control is all me.

            Are you trying to size a motor?

              Mostly LM guides and ball screw size.

              There is 3 to 5 different motors depending on what I go with for design, even tho it is only a 2D machine.

                Yeah, I was on a small team that designed a pump a few years back. I talked to the people at Automation Solutions, now i-automation.com, to ensure my motor and actuator selection made sense. They have a local office in Beverly.

                  wrong.

                  You need to look up a couple equations.

                    Fred I guess you're right. I also need to size motors.

                    A motor needs to overcome the static weight of the arm. So if the static weight it 45 kg I need to calculate how much torque to move it linearly via a ball screw in Nm.

                        Force = (roughly) 38.42 N

                        M= 45.36kg
                        Vi=0
                        Vo-=.847m/s
                        t=1sec
                        a=.847m/s^2

                        F=Ma
                        38.42N = 45.36x.847

                        Are you sure that friction is 0? Practically 0 is not 0.
                        Is the direction of the force and object linear?

                          2000 in/min = 33 in/s
                          33 in/s = .84 m/s

                          F = 38 N
                          P = Fv = 38N * .84 m/s = 32 W

                          edit: I think the key is to match load inertia with linear system inertia.

                            The friction is 0.0008. And yes.

                              Ok so I did a weight check. My gantry is 130 pounds bare. Probably another 50 pounds once I attach the lm guides, linear stepper motor, hardstops, servovalve, and Z axis plate w/head.
