I'm building a "roto-lok" system http://www.roto-lok.com/tech/technology.html
for the rotation of an antenna for amateur (ham) radio purposes. I'm trying to find an equation that relates the radius of a pulley/drum to the total friction. Basically I want to make sure that I put sufficient turns of wire around the drive shaft so that it does not slip. I've been searching on the web and I can't even really find equations relating tension to friction, etc. Any advice on where to look? -Tony |
