Re: Pitching Machine Motor Calculations

We are planning on using three 8" wheels.. so awesome!

One other concern... Can we expect that we can get almost full rpm capability out of the motor? Like my team practices only using 1/2 of the torque capability.. It seems to me that this is a very different application. My calculations read that the exit tangential velocity will be around 63 ft/sec using the GEM gear box and the fp motor combination. Disregarding air resistance and other non motor related variables... can the motor preform like it is expected? Or are there other things to worry about?
