1. How to calculate the RPM of a machine

If a machine is attached to a motor ad you know the RPM of motor then you can calculate the RPM of machine, in case you want to change the setup or installing a new machine and want an output of required RPM.

 

If you are using a motor with a speed of 1400 RPM  then what will be the RPM at machine.

As above mentioned we have a 2 inch pulley on motor which is rotating with 1400 RPM and connected to a pulley of 10 inch, what will be the RPM here.

Well the pulley is 10 inch, which is 5 times bigger than the motors pulley so the RPM here will be 1/5th of the motor speed, as a calculation we do:

RPM at Center Pulley = Motor Pulley  x  Motor RPM
Center Pully

RPM at Center Pulley = 2 x 1400  =  280 RPM
10

The same way the center 10 inch pulley is coupled with a 3 inch pulley now we know the RPM are 280 at that pulley. Now calculating the RPM at machine.

RPM at Machine  =     Center Pulley  x  RPM at Center Pulley
Machine Pulley

RPM at Machine  =  3  x  280  =  84 RPM
10

Now we know the RPM at machine which are 84.
