Worm Gear 20 inch diameter able to hold post 90 tooth assists in position count. Will require a roller- thrust bearing for reduced friction loss.
6
Power required Total weight of 623 lbs EF of 2.5 Working weight of 1557.5 lbs Rgear = 21 in, RPM of dish = ½ Torque = WxR= 1557.5 x 21 in = 32707.5lbin HP = TxRPM/63025 = 32707.5x.5/63025 =.259 hp
