Yes, I intend to do the type of things shown at lancecampeau.com. for another demonstration - So just to make sure - a 1730 rpm reduced to 350 using a V-belt drive, 1HP motor will be able to spin 5-6 kg of material, considering the diameter is 23"? Baluncore - it will always be large flat...

I don't, sadly. Can you point me to a good place to get that information? What do I need to look at regarding bearing configuration? And are thrust bearings are more suitable for this application then pillow block bearings?

Thank you guys! jrmichler, so you suggest using a v-belt drive, that's sounds great, thanks for the input. But using those numbers, how do I know how much weight can I put on the motor? could 5-6 kg work? Jack, I'm not sure exactly how to fill in the calculator you sent, there are many...

Thanks! It will be a round shape, I can show you a picture of what I imagine it should look like. The wooden circle is supposed to be 23" diameter. Like jack said, there is additional friction torque on my system, I'm not sure how to measure it though. The acceleration is not important, I...

Hi guys, I don't have much knowledge of physics sadly, and I want to build a machine that can spin a disk. My question is - How can I know the weight I can spin on a motor? I need to be able to spin around 5-6kg, for 350 RPM, and I'm not sure I'm aiming for the correct motor. I'm thinking of...
