Tartuffe Automation Math

 

The math below was used to figure out the setup of the automation hardware for the full stage wagon move.  The results of the math allowed me to select the appropriate configuration of stock components to achieve the motion of the wagon.  Automating the wagon added very little to my overall budget because so many of the components were in stock at UMKC. 

 

 

 

Weight of wall wagon:                                Castor Size = 5”

                                                                  Motor = 5hp @ 1760 rpm

Wagon         = 1783#                                    Gear Red. = 50:1 w/ 80% ineff

Walls           = 2350#                                    μr= 0.08

Wall Details = 1641#                                     a= 0.01664 ft/sec2

Total                5774#                                   Dia. Drum= 12.75”

                                                                  Circ. Drum = 40.06”

Wagon Travel= 13’-3.75”                             F to move Wagon= 387.1#
