Next garage project on the docket. Picked up a gear pump and electric motor off of kijiji.
Max RPM of the motor is 1725.
Max RPM of the gear pump is 1800.
I cant find the actual specs for the pump but i did find the specs for a similar unit.
BRASS GEAR PUMP WITH STAINLESS STEEL SHAFT AND GEARS. PUMPS WATER, BRINE, CALCIUM, DYES, SYRUPS, JUICE, BEVERAGES, GAZ, FUEL, OIL, POULTRY WATERING ETC. 1/2" NPT SUCTION AND DISCHARGE. MAXIMUM PUMP REVOLUTION SPEED: 1800 RPM PULLEY RATIO CALCULATION: MOTOR RPM X MOTOR PULLEY DIAM. -------------------------------= PUMP PULLEY DIAM. PUMP RPM OR PUMP RPM X PUMP PULLEY DIAM. ---------------------------= MOTOR PULLEY DIAM. MOTOR RPM CAPACITY: FEET PSI RPM HP GPH 0 0 900 1/3 300 1200 1/3 360 1800 1/3 600 57 25 900 1/3 280 1200 1/3 330 1800 1/3 580 115 50 900 1/3 240 1200 1/2 300 1800 1/2 480 173 75 900 1/2 210 1200 3/4 275 1800 3/4 420 231 100 900 3/4 160 1200 3/4 215 1800 1 330
So the question is, do I want my driven pulley to have torque or high rpm ?
Small drive pulley + large driven pulley = torque
Large drive pulley + small driven pulley =high rpm
