I am trying to slow down a 2.5 HP DC motor (6700 rpm) but i dont really know the ratio i will need it slowed untill i put it onto the conveyor i am using it for. Is there a gearbox system with a base and holes where helical gears can be added or removed till i have the right reduction?
2.5 horse power is crazy… is this an induction motor?
Hello! i dont think it is an induction motor, but its possible i got it wrong and its less HP, i will check again. In any case, i need to slow it down but not sure how much. if you have any idea how i can do that and make it variable i would appreciate it!
Thank You!
Can you slow it down with a VFD? Yo can also use chains or a belt.
If speed is the main thing, get a VFD. They’re a little hard to program but I’m sure you could get it right
