I want to pull up and down 10 kg metal cylinder at 7 inch vertically by using linear slide mechanism in 1 second. What should be the motor rpm, gear type, torque, watt etc? Otherwise how to calculate all those things? Thank you very much!

$\begingroup$ Why do you mix the metric with the standard? $\endgroup$– StainlessSteelRatSep 28, 2021 at 19:30

1$\begingroup$ @StainlessSteelRat metric is standard. Much prefer using Watts to btu… $\endgroup$– Solar MikeSep 28, 2021 at 20:08

$\begingroup$ @StainlessSteelRat I referred to it a screw as an imperial screw once and they got super offended and said why wouldn't I just refer to it as an inch screw. $\endgroup$– DKNguyenSep 29, 2021 at 16:53

Let's convert 7 inches to meters, 7x0.0254 = 0.1778m
You need a motor that can produce an average speed of 0.1778m/s so it must have an acceleration of 0.1778*2= 0.3556m/s^2
Now we can calculate the force your winch or motor needs. it must lift the 10kg against gravity and accelerate it
$$F = m \alpha+ mg= 10kg*0.3556m/s^2+10kg*9.8m/s^2 =10*10.155m/s^2$$
$$P_{average}=\frac{F*0.1778}{t}=101.5kgm/s= 9.81 * 101.5=995.715watts$$ I will detail the size of pulley later.

$\begingroup$ An improvement might be to convert kgm/s into something useable. $\endgroup$ Sep 28, 2021 at 20:49

$\begingroup$ If you are happy with the answer you should accept it, but there is also a benefit to waiting a couple of days (especially on this Stack), to see if there is a better one. $\endgroup$ Sep 29, 2021 at 20:42
