Re: Window motor or FP W/ Gearbox?

22lbs * 1.5 inch lever arm for a 3 inch spool = 33lbs*inch=528 oz*inch

528oz*inch / 121 (reduction in FP gearbox) = 4.33 oz*inch

RPM @ 4.33oz is approximately 19000RPM at motor, 157 RPM at output.

24 inches/s assuming 100% efficiency after the motor output.

Using specs for the 801-0673 FP
