For the 3450 motor I will use a 3” pulley on the motor and a 5” pulley on the drum.
For the 1725 motor I would use a 6” pulley on the motor and a 5” pulley on...
Thank you guys for your responses. I see that I need to provide some more information.
I’m planning on an 18” wide belt. The center cylinder will push the entire unit up until it hits the stops. The pressure in this cylinder will be far beyond the two outer cylinders so the frame will not move...
Hi All,

For starters I plan on using three air cylinders for the upper idler drum.
One in the middle that will push the drum upwards with stops on both ends. This will...
