hi everyone,
i need to rotate a horizontal disc which has bevel gear, the gear ratio of which is 1, the mass of disc along with its peripherals is around 33kg(MS disc)(M), the radius(r) of disc is 0.32m, i calculated the moment of inertia(I) by formula M(r)square/2 and then by angular acceleration formula (a/r)=(T/I), taking a=9.81m/s2...i found out the torque to be around 53Nm is the above procedure correct, and now if the calculation is correct should i look for a motor with 50Nm torque to drive the system?
i need to rotate the upper disc i havent modeled the shaft in the 3d design shown,the mass mentioned before includes the mass of the spools, the lower disc is stationary so i havent considered it in my calculations..please help

9.81 m/s2 is the value of acceleration due to gravity, and i don't think you can take that as default value for angular acceleration.
the angular acceleration value is the value which you desire it to be, and that is calculated using the value of the speed of rotation of the disc in RPM.
using the RPM, first calculate angular velocity using the formula (2*pi*RPM)/60.
then from this value of ang. velocity calculate the angular acceleration using the formula.

The torque of the motor should always be greater than the torque value which you require.

taking RPM as 30 and time as 30sec, angular velocity was found to be 3.14rad/sec, and angular acceleration to be 0.104 rad/sec^2, and by the realtion of torque and angular acceleration, where, angular accln=(torque/Inertia) taking inertia of 1.78kg/m^2, by using this the torque was found to be 0.18Nm..is this right? should i consider FOS of 3 which will be 0.55Nm..and now my motor selection should be based on this torque??

Yes.
Be very careful with the units while doing such calculations.

thank you sooo much<3!! 😀

I have a disk of dia 760 mm and weight 25 kg and I need to rotate it through center axis with 300 RPM and acceleration time 2 sec what should my motor size with KW and Torque. ???? I calculated it is 45 NM torque and Power required to rotate disk with 300 RPM is 5.3 KW when take FOS = 2
