Hi
I was trying to put to gather a air compressor i found its a campbell hausfeld workhorse that had a oil less pump on it and it doesn't work any more,its portable with wheel so i"m trying to put a belt driven compressor on it. I don't know what kind of compressor this is there is no mane on it only thing i can find is 1100. So with that compressor i"m putting a 1.5 hp electric motor and what i need to know is what the RPM should the pump run, so it don't fall apart? I"m running a 8 inch pulley on the compressor and a 4.250 on the electric motor, the RPM on the electric motor 1725 so at this rate the pump should be rotating about 800 RPM i was just wondering if i could up that a little bit so it would pump up a little faster.? And the amp when it pumping is 14.1 amps when it shuts off at 130 psi . With a 4 inch pulley on the electric motor it takes 15.2 amps at 130 psi when it just shuts off. Pump feels like it gets a little bit on the hot side put i thing that normal. Any comments would be great. i will try to get some pictures of it to:licking:
