    1) Why do you need 5000 lbs of force??

    2) You do realize that ~500ipm or more is a much better speed for a router.

    3) I believe that you only need 500 lbs of force to get 1G of accel.

    Sorry, but that's all I got.

    Found an italian 'magnetic BR60'
    Weighs a tonne.
    52v at torque peak.
    nominal current of 9.1 amps
    peak torque current of 53 amps
    back e.m.f max is 176v

    I'm hoping a gecko320 pushes it.

    It would probably fold your router frame up like pretzel at full torque.
