Multiquip Concrete Saw SP-6457 TD - Manual (Page 21)

Typically, however, the ratios are not used to design a level of torque; they are
used to create a saw with the optimum blade speed (blade Shaft RPM) for you.
The major factors are:
• diameter of blade(s) you commonly use, and
• cutting conditions you work under
The 4 gear ratios we have designed into the SP-6457 TD 4-speed Blade Shaft are:
1 st Gear 1.00 : 1
2 nd Gear 1.34 : 1
3 rd Gear 1.70 : 1
4 th Gear 2.02 : 1
In addition to the four” fixed” ratios of the Blade Shaft gears, we can also tailor
the Blade Shaft RPM (blade speed) by adjusting the “primary” ratio between the
engine and the Blade Shaft. By selecting a Blade Shaft sheave and Engine sheave,
a multitude of additional ratios (and Blade Shaft speeds) are possible. The
following Sheave sets are available as standard kits:
5.1 6.0 1.17 : 1

1741 in 2nd
1372 in 3rd
