have a question. Hope i can ask it so it makes sense.
Have a gear motor that is rated at 650 lb_in that turns 47 RPM at max speed.
Need to use this existing motor in a machine and turn a roller approx 115 rpm at max speed.
Gear motor has a 5 inch sprocket on it. If i put a 2 inch sprocket on the roller then the ratio would be 5 to 2.5 Would the the roller with the 2 inch sprocket turn at 47*2.5 = 117.5 rpm for the roller if motor running max speed.
Also, since the motor is rated at 650lb_in and the ratio between the sprocket that is currently on the motor and what will placed on the roller is 2.5, would that cause a difference in the amount of torque that would be availiable at the roller with the 2 inch sprocket.
Thanks for any advice or reply.
