I was reading a post “ AC Motor instead of DC Motor” dated Sept.22nd.
Thanks for posting this question. I am in the same situation . I am looking
to push 11 columns of brick across “Free Rolling” conveyor rollers, 2.5” in
dia. Each column as 100 brick in it. Each brick weighs 4.5 lbs. , so each column
would weigh 450 lbs x 11 columns = 4,950 lbs. I roughly figured it would take
18,562 in./lb. torque to move this.
Because I am limited with space I was thinking about using…..
Hydraulic Motor , DC Motor , or a AC Motor. With a AC Gearmotor, I
am concerned that at a standstill , the motor will never be able to produce the needed torque. I was looking at a Sumitomo Cyclo 6000 Gearmotor
Output Speed 34.3 rpm Output Torque 25,700 in./lbs
Am I looking at this all wrong ? Do you think I should go with Hydraulic ?
Thanks so much for your input.
