Anyone ever tried to google electric motors for a small frame (body) size….sigh.
What I need, I think is a 1/10 to 1/8 hp 120V ac motor with a small frame say between 2” – 3” diameter. The “I think” part is based on a 60watt DC/90V motor which the calculators, again by google suggest close to1/10hp. But I don’t know if I am comparing apples to apples.
Heck the first hit I got for calculating watts to HP wanted to know my height, weight and so on to find out how much HP it would take for me to climb a set of stairs….? Not only that, they want you to run up them. Nothing like inducing a heart attack to perform what I thought would be an easy calculation.
Anyway, what I’m hoping, is some of you can point in the right direction for a model number that would at least get me in the right area (category). Tried the big name suppliers web sites but again…sigh. Everything I looked at was full size motors and there is just to many to pull the specs on each. Thinking, GE, Baldor, Leeson probably a few more, but these pop to mind.
This way on my next trip to the city I can order at the not so local supplier and pick up when it eventually shows.
Heck, I’d even look at sewing machine motors if I could find out who made them.
It would be nice to find a small sealed unit with the fins cast on the outer body just because it would make a cool looking piece of equipment, but not a necessity. Saw one of these once on an electric chainsaw sharpener, yup, googled that to…sigh.
Cheers, Bob
