Need Help Finding A High Torque, Low Speed Gearmotor

[dfowler]

I am looking for an AC gearmotor with a set output speed of anywhere in the range of 30-60 rpm. I need to deliver somewhere between 150 to 200 ft-lbs (1800 to 2400 in-lbs) of torque at a set speed.

Our power service is 230V 3ph 60hz and price is an issue so I am most likely looking for 'off the shelf' components. A 3hp motor at 1800 rpm and 40:1 gearbox combo would work just as well, but I would prefer a gearmotor combination.

Does anyone know of a good source for this? A site with an online catalog of parts would be great. Both gearmotor combos and separate components are fine. Thanks.

Davey

How many do you need? If you just need one, buy it on Ebay. I have purchased several at auction. Big advantage, its probably in stock.
