6 kg and 10 meters.........why not use round plastic pipe and air pressure.......

 

You know what I actually really never though of it like that
Plus the I was gonna say that according to the prices around my area this thing would be too expensive so I ditched it completely and now I am back to the drawing board
sorry again for my ignorance
I hope that I didn't upset you up (everybody) and Thanks a lot for the help
I really learned a lot of things

... no problem
Sometimes, depending on your location, there are electronic surplus stores, with motors and other items available at bargain prices. ... Just a matter of wiring things together.

 

What country ? What is your budget ?

 

What country ? What is your budget ?

I live in Egypt and I had a budget of 1000 EGP which is roughly 60 US Dollars

 

How much motor is needed ? 3 kg or 6.6 lb., or 10 lb. load; about 30 ft. in 5 min.
Maybe a 3.8 in. dia. drum = 1 ft. / rev. So 30 ft. in 5 min. = 6 RPM . Need 10:1 reduction
Window lift motor, short on details, 12 V, 3.8 A, 88 rpm no load, guess 60 rpm loaded.
From similar motor, torque about 35 in-lb. or 3 ft. - lb. Needed 10 ft.-lb. with 2 " radius drum = 1.7 ft.-lb.
Should work . Cable- 1/8 in. sein twine of 250 lb. breaking strength.
With one pulley on carriage, only need 5:1 additional reduction, bicycle sprockets ?

 

Going back to post # 8 by WBahn, how much power is required? On first pass I did not believe the figures
so just now reviewed = no change. Rounded some input in English.
30 ft., 10 lb., 5 m. Work = ft.lb. Power = rate of doing work. W=ft.lb./m/44.27 = ( 10 X 30 )/ ( 5 X 44.27 )
= 1.3 W.
Or, ft. X lb. X .0000226 / 5 = kW. 30 X 10 X .0000226 / 5 = .001356 kW or 1.35 W
Motor, right angle drive, ( worm & wheel ) is self braking & available from auto junk yard as window lifter or seat positioning. Might take a look.

 

So this is gonna be a school project
I am making an elevator that has to be able to lift about 3 Kgs against the gravity of Earth upward to 10 meters and the problem that is stopping me is my very little knowledge about motors
So what kind do I need?
I know there are Stepper motors, Brushless motors and Servos
I was thinking servos are the right choice here since i am lifting heavy objects
Also I am focusing more on the torque as its speed doesn't need to be super fast as long as it is gonna complete the 10 meters distance in less than 5 minutes
Thanks in advance

If you want a small motor elevator for a project. You may follow these instructions that I got : Step Motor Elevator.
