Hi all,
I'm a total amateur when it comes to anything engineering related, so I 'd love some advice with a project I'm working on. I'm an installation artist working on a new project where I'm hoping to suspend a piece of dry-wall in the air and rotate on a vertical axis at a speed of say 20-30 rpms. I've been doing research into hanging motors but most seem to only spin at 2rpm and are quite a bit more expensive. I'm curious what people think about attaching a regular turntable motor to a ceiling and suspending a ~40lb piece of dry wall from it. I know hanging weight capacity is important, but 40lbs isn't that heavy....
Any advice is welcome or suggestions on motors to buy are even more welcome. Thanks so much everyone!
