Post Subject: Flywheel is availablePosted by Romy the Cat on: 4/24/2026
The flywheel is kind of irrelevant. You added you are losing slightly starting momentum. Pushing platter with hands is fine. The main equation in all of it is the suspension of the table itself. Since it is 5,000 you do not have air suspension and you have regular single boll bearing. Look at this side where I describe how to change oil and how to protect the supporting plate. Again, it has nothing to do with flywheel. Very generally - if you want some kind of rough estimate. If you have a properly lubricated and properly configure suspension for this table then being spinned for full speed you need to be able to remove the belt and the platter should run between 3 and 5 minutes. The sooner it starts, the more burn up your suspension or your lubrication.
