Triforce 3 - Build Progress Thread

[TechAUmNu]

Beautiful. I'm very interested on how the clutching system works, as that looks to be some serious force you're putting through there!

The Clutch is a friction torque limiter from Ringspann RS50.2 it will be set to 50Nm although we will likely exceed that if we give full power, we actually don't want to run it at full power to save the motors from overheating.

I have a spreadsheet which calculates all the Torques and forces which says the motors produce 15Nm each so 45Nm this then has a speed increase gear ratio 0.78 to the drive gear so 35Nm. Then the drive gear to ring ratio is 4.84 giving a torque of 170Nm on the ring. Calculates max rpm is 1770rpm.
