    Hi guys & girls
    I am starting my second build 6 dof using @Wanab /@SeatTime / @SilentChill design
    I have some winch motors which I would like to use they are only 1800 rpm but if I use 2:1 ratio on to the worm drive I should get enough speed my question is with this type of ratio how much torque do I lose and will I have enough for this to work on this type of actuator I known @SeatTime has tried a version of belt ratio drive on his earlier versions can you advise why it did not work

    It's a scalar on the gear reduction ratio so if you use a 2:1 you will have half as much torque.

    thanks for the reply so I will have about 350watt with 2/1 ratio which is what they seem to run okay with other motors the only thing to watch will be heat I suppose I have tried using the direct drive but it seem way to slow so am now changing the mounting and adding the ratio drive pulleys at the moment I made 3d printed pulley but they are a little bit rough I am using HTD 3m belt pitch and it seem a little too fine and belt fit is not great
    I will post some pictures of the set up when I have finished the motor mount so people can advise if I am going in the right direction the motors seem very strong with lots of torque:thumbs
