Hello All! I have a motor driving an eccentric arm which drives a shaft that pushes a plate back and forth. The motor is 3HP, the RPM is 1725, the plate moves a total of 1.75" I need to find the force of the plate as it moves out. I am thinking if I get torque from the HP and the RPM I'm heading in the right direction Thoughts?
Just a little lost in what is being asked at the moment, you say in the title Piston Force based on Horse Power, but then change direction and ask about a force on a plate? Maybe a diagram would help?
