Help: Torque to Linear force conversion
We have a cim motor (343.4 oz-in of torque), a mini cim motor (12.4 in-lbs of torque) and a toughbox mini with a gear ratio of 10:71:1. The pulley we have connected to the toughbox mini has a 1" radius. Using these pieces of information I have calculated our linear force to be about 240lbs. Can anybody verify this? Do I need any other information?
