I have a planer whose motor is broken. It was doing 10000 rpm. Now there is an engine at 2800 rpm and the oil on the engine is 0.40 and that of the planer is 0.60. What should I do to get 10000tr/min?
Answer
Best,
you can adjust the diameters of the pulleys if necessary. (I suppose the 0.40 and the 0.60 is about the diameter of the pulleys – polyes? – I suppose 0.4 dm and 0.6 dm ?)
Based on your current data and setup, the plane itself will run at 1866 rpm.
By exchanging the two belt pulleys (if this is even possible) you already arrive at a speed of the planer of 4200 rpm. Perhaps this is already a step in the right direction. (advantage is that you don’t need another belt)
If you really want to get to 10,000 rpm, you can:
– replace the engine pulley with a 2.14 (dm) pulley
– replace the planer pulley with a 0.11 (dm) pulley
If feasible and can be built in, the first option seems the best to me.
If both discs are easy to change, put the 0.6 disc on the motor and then you need a 0.168 disc on the planer.
These last three possibilities to get to 10,000 rpm probably also require a different belt unless the distance between the engine and the planer can be adjusted sufficiently.
Kind regards,
Dirk
