Given:

• P = 1 kW; n = 31 rpm; R = 800 mm; r = 170 mm; e = 300 mm;

Calculate:

• torque MK,

• force on the slider Fs,

• the slide speed in the forward direction vs ,

• max. reverse speed vR,

• main time tm,

• secondary time ts.

Results:

MK= 308 N m; Fs = 1064,4 N; vs = 56,4 m/min; vR= 203,8 m/min;

tm= 1,34 s; ts= 0,6 s
