Driving torque

Belt Presses Belt presses were fiiUy described in the section on filtration. The description here is intended to cover only the parts and designs that apply expression pressure by a mechanism in adchtion to the normal compression obtained from tensioning the belts and pulling them over rollers of smaller and smaller diameters. The tension on the belt produces a squeezing pressure on the filter cake proportional to the diameter of the rollers. Normally, that static pressure is calculated as P = 2T/D, where P is the pressure (psi), T is the tension on the belts (Ib/hnear in), and D is the roller diameter. This calculation results in values about one-half as great as the measured values because it ignores pressure created by drive torque and some other forces [Laros, Advances in Filtration and Separation Technology, 7 (System Approach to Separation and Filtration Process Equipment), pp. 505-510 (1993)].

Forces applied to a rotor. Rotor-applied forces can be due to drive torques, couplings, gears, misalignment, and axial forces from piston and thrust unbalance. They can be destructive, and they often result in the total destruction of a machine.

A, must approximate the water wheel diameter, KD. (More precisely, the sum of the pitch circle diameters of the sprocket and mill must exceed KD plus the outside diameter of the mill outlet pipe.) Turning of stone in the mill exerts a resistance torque of /Ty( 1 - e) A A sin4xT2, reduced by the mechanical advantage through the drive to the water wheel by a factor of d-i-(KD), where d - sprocket pitch circle diameter. As before, the water wheel drive torque is M - 0.12 5n V-K (AT2 - 1)LD3. If A KD, the maximum sprocket diameter, d, that will provide the necessary mechanical advantage is ... 

As discussed before ( 5.2), a molten polymer shows also elastic behaviour, particularly on a short time-scale the fluid is visco-elastic. This can, in a simple experiment, be demonstrated in two ways. When we let a bar rotate around its axis in a viscoelastic fluid, then, after removal of the driving torque, it will rotate back over a certain angle. Moreover the fluid will, during rotation, creep upward along the bar, which indicates the existence of normal stresses next to shear stresses.

To increase shot size upsizing the plasticator can be made. A number of items have to be considered for the upsizing process, such as barrel wall thickness, resultant screw L/D, injection speed reduction, screw drive torque, and injection pressure drop. Before considering the upsizing process, one has to determine whether the output can be met properly using the decreased pressure and speeds that occur. The pressure and speeds will decrease directly proportional to the difference in the barrel ID projected areas. If this poses no problems, the L/D and structural integrity of the barrel have to be considered before proceeding.

Roll drive arrangement In most cases, a high torque is necessary on the rollers. The drive torque should be divided equally between the two rollers and both rolls should (in the case of briquetting, must) rotate with exactly the same speed. Also in the case of smooth rollers and compaction of a sheet, even minute... 

Suppose we slowly decrease 7, starting from some value / > 1. What happens to the rotating solution Think about the pendulum as the driving torque is reduced, the pendulum struggles more and more to make it over the top. At some critical value 4 < 1, the torque is insufficient to overcome gravity and damping, and the pendulum can no longer whirl. Then the rotation disappears and all solutions damp out to the rest state. 

The quantities subscripted by 1 refer to the inner dipole while those subscripted by 2 refer to the outer cage, /, /x,., i = 1,2, are the corresponding moments of inertia and dipole moments, and A, are the stochastic torques and is the angular position.

Powder and friction properties are covered in section 3.4. In ASTM D2395 [50] a test is described that measures the ability of PVC polymer to absorb plasticizer whilst remaining a free-flowing powder. The PVC polymer powder is mixed with liquid plasticizer in cither a sigma blade mixer or a planetary mixer heated at 88 C and the torque is continuously recorded by a torque rheometer. The mix passes through a sticky state before becoming dry as the plasticizer is absorbed. The change in motor drive torque with time is used to measure the time taken for this absorbtion. 

Usually elaborate control systems cannot correct for problems such as those caused by a (1) worn screw and barrel, (2) inadequate drive torque, or (3) poor screw design. For example, such systems will not yield good temperature control unless all features essential to good control are well maintained. Burnt-out heating elements cannot be tolerated. Another common deficiency for liquid-cooled extruders is fouling or restrictions in the plumbing system or inoperative valves. Other factors of these types also exist.
