Geared this far down, you're looking at some pretty large amounts of torque. I'd definitely prefer to go chain over belt, and might even want to step up to #35 chain. |
You are exceeding the load only if you stall out the motor. Placing a current limit or voltage limit on the motor will stop that from occurring. Theoretically at hose ratios one could use a BAG motor or something smaller, but the greater mass of a minicim or CIM makes it a bit safer.
