Im designing a twin screw extruder, and I am using an AC motor to power it. I will have a gear box with a reduction of 10:1 and 2 out but shafts. IE motor gives 3000RPM I want the 2 screws to rotate at 300RPM. the torque at this speed should be 15Nm what will happen to the torque after its placed to 2 shafts and does it increase 10:1 through the gearboxs as the speed is reduced?Thanks folks!
either shaft can deliver the full torque if the other is not loaded. The sum of the two loads has to be less than the specified torque, minus friction losses. yes, reducing the speed by a factor of 10 will increase the total torque output by that same factor, less friction. .
