I typed up a lengthy reply that failed to post and is now lost, so all I will say is thank you for all of your assistance, John. I'm grateful!

Hi John, Thank you for your response. No, this is not homework, this is real-world for my job. I simply am unfamiliar with working with motors and have not done physics in several years, so I am having a mental block. Unfortunately, I cannot disclose this device, but think of those Concept 2...

Update: Gearbox is 15:1. Pulleys are 1:1. Radius of pulley is 1" The pulley's RPM speed is (circumference*RPM)/gearing, right? In other words, (2pi*4000)/15=1676 RPM. The torque would then be 0.304*15=4.56 Nm. So then how do I get the maximum velocity of the 159 kg along 0.45 m that this...

Does anyone at least have some tips or ideas? Thanks

I'm working on choosing an appropriate motor. I have the calculations I need for the required torque, power, max velocity, force, and acceleration. Now I need to know the maximum velocity that a specific motor can move 159 kg 0.45 m across a horizontal plane. In all of my calculations for...
