We are doing a production of Les Mis and I've spent the last 3 months researching and designing a 24' turntable for our show. And we ran into the very same problem. The 2 HP motor and 20:1 speed reducer have no problem moving the turntable at 1 RPM with 20 actors. We ran a load test last week with 50 teenage actors on the turntable from a dead stop and the chain started slipping. I came on the forum today to look for advice on how to solve the slipping problem with the chain in the "oreo cookie" slot. Thanks for the advice on the traction tape and screws. We used a porch swing spring and a turnbuckle to tention the chain it works very well.
