I done with my little project now and I want to thank you guys again for all the help you gave me! If it wasn't for you I would probably have given up when I didn't know what stuff to use. I owe you one!
And a picture! Leeson motor and controller work perfectly...
Doesn't have to be very accurate at all.
No need for positioning control.
No need to know how much it has rotated.
All I need is a motor that I can control the speed of.
I want one of those Leeson motors I linked and I was thinking of buying one of the Leeson control units just like sreid told...
Thank you so much for the help!
"220 VAC Full Wave Rectified" What does that mean, sreid?
You saying I should use a rectifier but no capaciror?
Please excuse the newbie questions, I am doing my best to learn.
I changed my mind about motors, I'm gonna but one of these Leeson. Says they are SCR...
Alright. I have been doing some reading and got another question.
If I understand correctly a DC motor is easier and cheaper to speed control than an AC motor. I thought of two things to do.
A power supply thingy from a computer and then use a 12VDC motor, or wiring a 180VDC with bridge...
Thank you so much for the replies! I'm afraid I can't tell you what I am trying to build <blush>
The motor being 11" is ok, if you say it has enough power then I'll go for one of those.
What is a VFD?
What do you think of this?

So many motors to choose from there.
Hello, I am new here and don't know much about motors but I hope you could be kind enough to help me find what I look for.
I need a 240V electric motor with 5+ Nm of torque. It will run at 0-180 rpm and I wonder what kind of motor I should use that has that torque no matter what speed it's...
