[highlight=#ffffff]Hey there!
I’m a newcomer to the forum and also a beginner with robotics/mechatronics but I’ve purchased and built the MeArm deluxe kit as part of a project. The problem is I would like to calculate the torque output of a servo as it rotates but can’t seem to get nearly the result I’m looking for. I am attempting to find moments about C to then find out the reaction a B and potentially use this to find out torque servo but I feel this is horribly wrong. I’ve attached an image of the setup
Some info/assumptions made are (I don’t really know if they’re of use);
- The two arms, OC and AB can be assumed to always be vertical
- [size=2][font=arial, sans-serif]θ ranges from 0° to 90°[/font][/size]
The lengths of the arms are;
OA=BC=3.5cm
OC=AB=CD=8cm
DE=7cm
The masses are;
Arm OC=AB=~2grams
Arm BCD=~3g
Me=0g for now (could also be 4.5g & 9g)
Md =19.7
UDL between D and E is a total of ~15g
I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to post and for the long winded post but I would so very much appreciate any help! If there’s anymore needed info I will help where I can, thanks![/highlight]
