(5) Design a gear train for the following design application. The desired motion is characterized below: (SEE PHOTO)
Direction of rotation: counterclockwise about axis parallel to the X -axis
Speed of rotation: 100 RPM
Torque: \(\quad>400\mathrm{Nm}\)
Actuator can spin the shaft at 1000 RPM while producing 150 Nm of torque
Size restriction - A single gear cannot be larger than 40 cm in diameter.
Assume origin \((0,0,0)\) at the end of motor's shaft. The location of desired motion is \((210,65,40)\)
It is expected you might have to make some assumptions, clearly communicate those assumptions.
Draw a schematic of the gear train and give details about each component of the gear train:
- Type of gear, for each gear
- Diameter and number of teeth on each gear
- Shaft attachment, location, and orientation
In your schematic, clearly label the direction of rotation and speed of each gear
