It needs to be 3.0in to 4in OD, the belt which it will drive will have 6 grooves. It will be mounted on a motor shaft and there also has to be a way to tighten it with a screw securely. I am having a really hard time finding one, which is understandable since they are commonly used on...

Lift would would displace less distance in less time, sorry about that!

Ok, ill stick with my pulley idea. From what I understand is that if you go from a smaller pulley to a larger pulley, the angular speed will be reduced as it has a larger diameter. So for my case, I would have to have small pulley going to a large pulley, and then have a smaller pulley attached...

I have a little project, I am building a simple lift that is moved with cable by a 3-phase motor which has it's speed controlled by variable frequency drive. I am going to be implementing PID control into the VFD via PLC that will be based off of a distance reading from an ultrasonic sensor for...
