7.MOTOR SIZING AND BATTERY SIZING - D-Div-2022-2023-Odd/Repo-13 GitHub Wiki

7.1 Motor Sizing :

TOTAL MASS CALCULATION

  • Density of Acrylic Sheet = 1.2 g/cubic cm
  • Density of Foam Sheet = 0.062 g/cubic cm

  • Volume of Side Stand = 102 cubic cm
  • Volume of Cradle = 2216 cubic cm
  • Volume of Crank = 168 cubic cm
  • Volume of Crank = 60 cubic cm

  • Mass of Side Stand = Volume * Density of Foam sheet = 0.0063 kg
  • Mass of Cradle = Volume * Density of Foam Sheet = 0.137 kg
  • Mass of Crank = Volume * Density of Acrylic = 0.201 kg
  • Mass of Crank = Volume * Density of Acrylic Sheet = 0.0037 kg
  • Mass of DC Motor = 0.09 kg

TOTAL MASS = 0.438 kg


FORCE CALCULATION

  • F = m * g

F = 0.438 * 9.81 = 4.29 N


TORQUE CALCULATION

  • T = m * g * D / 2

T = 0.32175 Nm

  • Total Torque = 0.32175 * 1.5 = 0.4826 Nm = 4.82 kg-cm
  • Therefore we require 60RPM 12V Low Noise DC Motor with Metal Gears - Grade A.

7.2 Battery Sizing :

Sl.no Components Quantity Operating Voltage Operating Current Total Current
1. DC Motor 1 12V 300mA 300 * 1 = 0.3A
2. Aurdino mega 2560 1 5 V 100mA 100 * 1 = 0.1A

FOS = 1.5

After multiplying FOS,

  • 0.3 * 1.5 = 0.45A
  • 0.1 * 1.5 = 0.15A

We require it for 3 hours

Therefore the capabilities which we require will be,

12 V - 0.9A

We use 12V and 0.5A battery.
