Can anyone validate my motor calculations?

I'm 5'5", and I'm our team's drive coach. Our drivers are nearly always taller than me. In my case, it's not the driver's station that needs to be made of lexan...it's our drivers. - StephLee [more]

Re: Can anyone validate my motor calculations?

those numbers sound right. We are using the same calculator for our lifter. we are using a mini CIM with a custom gear box with a 26.7 to 1 reduction. we are getting it to lift 60in in 1.6 sec with 150lbs of force.

If you have the resources to make your own gearboxes i would do that, but your setup sounds good as long as you keep friction in your lifter to a minimum.
