Hi all,
I am building an automated homebrew system, and I am looking for a proper stepper motor that fits the bill. I've done the force calculations myself, but I am no expert when it comes to physics and motors. Am I correct in believe that, if I have a 40lb mass that I need to raise and lower, using a 4" diameter pulley, that I will require a stepper motor with 80lbf/in torque? Also, if anyone can PM me some websites to find a motor that would fit the bill, that would be great as well.
Cheers,
