Re: Drive Sizing 101

Quote:
Can you please clarify if the FP motor is attached to the KOP FP gearbox, and then adding 1500:1, or is it 1500:1 directly from the FP.
Directly to the F-P.

I'm wondering why you guys are using such a wimpy motor though... don't you have 4 CIMs sitting in your drivetrain that won't be doing anything during the lifting period?
We have our reasons, but the "wimpy" motor has plenty of power to do the job and powering it with more powerful motors will cause us to upsize all the components due to the stall condition. The total weight to just add a F-P was less.
