I am trying to design a car wash type system that will allow a linear actuator to run a 1ftX1ft stainless steel case through a series of sand paper flap wheels. There will be two shafts with up to 50lbs on them.
I need to spec a motor to run these two shafts using a pully/v-belt setup. Does anyone know what kind of AC motor I should be looking for? The wheels are 3 inches wide and 6 inches in diameter. They are speced for 6000 rpm but doesn't this seem way to high? I have heard buffing stainless steel only requires around 150 rpm.
Any suggestions?
