12 A motor drives two loads. The rotational load coupled to the motor through 10
reduction gear with a = 0.1 and efficiency of 90%. The load has a moment
of inertia of 10kg-m2 and a torque of 10N-m. Other load has a translational
motion and consist of 1000kg weight to be lifted up at an uniform speed of
1.5m/s, the coupling between this load and motor has an efficiency of 85%.
Motor has an inertia of 0.2kgm2 and runs at a constant speed of 1420rpm.
Determine equivalent inertia and torque referred to the motor shaft and
power developed by the motor.
A drive has the following parameters: J=10 kg-m2, T=100-0.1Nm, passive
load torque Tc = 0.05Nm, where N is the speed in rpm. Initially the drive is
13 operating in steady state. Now it is to be reversed. For this, motor 10
characteristic is changed to T=-100-0.1N Nm. Calculate the time of reversal.
A weight of 500kg is being lifted up at a uniform speed of 1.5m/s by a winch
driven by a motor running at a speed of 1000rpm. The moment of inertia of
the motor and winch are 0.5 and 0.3 kg-m2 respectively. Calculate the motor
14 torque and the equivalent moment of inertia referred to the motor shaft. In 10
the absence of weight, the motor develops a torque of 100Nm when running
at 1000rpm.
