    Default Ball lifting speed of a ball lifter?

    Hello everyone,

    Does anybody know how many pachinko machines can each ball lifter support at the same time?

    For example, if I was to have 8 pachinko machines lined up side by side and I wanna configure the setup to share 1 ball lifter while all 8 machines are being played, is that possible?

    Many thanks for your contributions.

    It looks like the orange lifters can feed 4 or so machines at a time until more than one are in fever mode, then I think it would fall behind. I am still planning on using one in my setup (8 machines in an island) but I don't expect more than three or four to ever be played at the same time anyway.

    Thanks Owen. I think then if more than 1 machine is in fever mode, you'd still have however number of balls already loaded in your cabinet as a buffer until the fever mode finishes anyway. When fever mode finishes the ball lifter beats the 4 machines again...This is what I think...Do you agree?

    I think the worst would be that after the fever it would just take a minute for it to catch back up. I only see an issue if the hoppers run dry but at least you can still play while it refills.

    Here are the "Stats" on a Lifter run at 100 volts and 120 volts. I did a time run for 20000 Sphere's at both Voltages this using the standard length square tube and spring that comes with the lifter.

    I did not post the calculation for Sphere's per Min. :

    At 100 volts. (Japan Voltage) = 444.44 per Min.

    At 120 volts. (U.S. Voltage) = 470.58 per Min.

    26.14 more Sphere's moved per Min. at the U.S. voltage.
