It has a maximum rim speed of 36”/second (2.9 rpm on a 20’ revolve). Using a Stagehand Apprentice, Revolver can be over-sped to achieve a maximum speed of 72”/second. With a 5hp motor and independent tensioning springs, Revolver can produce up to 1,200lbs of lateral thrust. The positioning encoder is mounted on an independent suspension, so you never lose accuracy, even if the drive wheel slips. www.creativeconners.com
