Thanks! I appreciate it. I'm really just trying to determine if I have a powerful enough motor attached to the assembly. I'm trying to lift 500lbs continuously.
Hello, I am relatively new to the engineering forum so please permit me some lee-way if I am asking something someone has before.
How Do I determine the lifting force in lbs of a rotational to verticle movement? I am building a simple lift with a 1 to 4 gear ratio with a 30 HP electric motor...
