Not to high jack the tread, have a 6 x 48 that I am attempting to speed up. The motor and belt drive pulleys are both 3". Replaced the motor pulley with a 6" pulley. That was done this evening, need new belt to test.
I am not real sure the motor is going to have what it takes to do the work, HP wise, not a concerned at this point. My mission is to get the belt moving faster, then go to a motor with better torque.
What is the best guess for the belt speed, thinking double is dreaming. Is there a math formula for that calculation?
