I truly hope you are wrong as to not ending well. The tube is built by going 6 foot sections with an internal steel tube coupler which is bolted through and through. Motor system secures one end with idler securing other end. Entire roll cradled from under by rollers on 24" on center arms.
Thank you very kindly Waross and Littleinch for the time spent and guidance offered. The curtain is being wrapped around a 4" steel tube which is 60 feet long. The fabric is 7mm thick. The motor is in one end only and is attached to a gear sprocket then chain then sprocket attached to tube.
Most kind of you all to answer. I would like the curtain material to roll up in approx one minute. It is a chain drive system with 60' steel tube. No spring loading.
Thank you again
Hello,
New to forum. Would anyone be able to supply the equation to determine what hp would be needed to fully raise from floor a: 60 foot by 18 foot by 2 lb per square foot curtain mounted to a 4" tube resting on rollers?
Would be most grateful for your help.
