How we calculate the gear ratio is by using this equation:
Gear Ratio = (Number of Teeth on Gear 1 / Number of Teeth on Gear 2)
The gear ratio represents the relationship between the sizes of two gears.
It determines how many
times one gear will turn concerning the other, affecting the speed and torque of the system.
How we calculate the RPM is by using this equation:
RPM = (Motor RPM / Gear Ratio)
RPM is the number of revolutions a wheel or mechanism
makes in a minute. It is influenced by the motor RPM and the gear ratio.
How we calculate the MPH is by using this equation:
MPH = (Speed in Inches Per Minute / Inches Per Revolution) * (60 / 5280)
MPH calculates the speed of the robot in miles per hour. It depends on the speed
of the robot in inches per minute and the conversion factor to miles.
