Confused about Electic Conversion Speeds
The RPM of the motor is 1750, the pulley size is 3.5" OD, the belt is a 71A. Paul was very generous in offering that information free of charge. I suppose a 1 Hp works fine as it is offered by SS. The majority of my splitting is done near my shop, and now in the shop
, I have a couple of generators, any of which is easy enough to load were I to want to split "in the field". Even with a gas gen. you can put it a reasonable distance from you so as to keep the noise tolerable. I worked on the flight line when I was in the Corps, so I have had my fill of loud noise....Stihls being the exception..
First off let me say— thank God for the internet.
This being my first post— let me thank all of you that have offered/Shared truly priceless information to us all.
That said— I used a super split years ago for an elderly neighbor after he suffered from a stroke, and could not lift the logs himself.
I have always liked the exorcise and used a maul myself, however needing rotor cuff surgery for over a year now, put me in the market for one.
With the addition to the DR Replica… Yes — REPLICA— and they should have at least named it PAUL'S GIFT instead of Rapid fire, I trekked up the Factory store in NH, only to be told that I should grab one of the first modules before the revised were the only ones available, then was told I could be put on a waiting list for one.
The outright smugness and arrogance they display up there is not worthy of the path that super split has forged for them.
I would rather wait to find the elusive USED Super Split than Offer a dime to a Company that looks down its nose to it's customers-
And I did.
I found an old girl that was road hard and put away wet--- and leg-less I might add, from an abusive Mean and Nasty Contractor.
The good
He wanted $1500-- butI will take $500 if you can get it out of here, and you stop looking through my shop for the axle.
It appears to be a newer one- 6hp subaru- 2inch wide rack- table
The bad
Subaru missing the carb Linkage and spark – fixed with old motor on hand.
Missing – the engagement bolt and Needed various bearings and such — roughly $50 form Super Split
The ugly—
Missing one tooth on the rack –9th from the back— welding back on this weekend
-----The Long winded Question.
I really like the idea of the Electric motor, but the manual I got from Super split ($7.00 well spent)says--
Gas Engine— do not allow Flywheel speed to exceed 310rpm— motor 3000Rpm
Electric Pulley Diameter is not to exceed 3.25" at 1750
After some calculations—
the one I bought has a 1" Double Pulley(2 Belts) and 18" Flywheels MY CALCULATION= 200RPM at the fly wheel
Your electric motor with a 3.5" pulley and my 18 inch fly wheel is 342 RPM at the fly wheel
With a 3.25" pulley would be 316rpm at the fly wheel
Do I have the Wrong drive pulley on this thing?
