Re: Help: Torque to Linear force conversion
The torque numbers you have are at stall (i.e., the maximum possible). Under normal operating conditions, you might get half that. If you're gearing the CIM and Mini-CIM together, you'll take a significant hit to efficiency, perhaps about 20% less than perfect. The gearbox itself will take another ~10% efficiency. By those numbers, you'll get around 130lbf with your pulley.
