A Motorized Turntable System
More details
This report presents a design for a generic turntable system capable of use in a number of different theatrical situations. The turntable is twenty feet in diameter, and designed to supporta loadofat least ten thousand pounds.Some unusual features of the design include a purely laminated-plywood platform design. By constructing the platform from a number of identically-shaped sections, this speeds the process of construction.In addition, since ituses modular sections, itcan be easily disassembled, stored, and reassembled for later uses. The turntable is driven using a 2 HP motor and a roller chain drive system. The use of a roller chain drive system instead of a friction or cable drive system makes installing and adjusting the drive loop simpler.
