TJ Smith Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 In looking for a motor for a press.I decided to go with a 5 hp 1725 rpm motor. Very hard to find. if I took a 3hp x 3450 rpm motor and used a belt drive to get down to 1725 would that work? What would that do to my HP?Tj Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpearson Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 It would give you 3 hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Everything I needed for my press came from Northern Tool including the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain ol Bill Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Curious why you want to slow your motor down? Double the rpm means twice as much hydraulic fluid being pumped = faster ram speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
