Anybody know of a source for low rpm motors? I'm looking for something around 4-6 rpms.
Thanks, Steve Re: low rpm motors

I get mine at American Science and Surplus. They have retail stores here in the Chicago area, and they also have an extensive online catalog. Very cool place.

Tom,
Just a heads up! Your post will probably be automatically deleted as site rules (above, in red) require that full names (first & last) be used. Mike Re: low rpm motors

Custom Tackle Supply and FishSticks4U both have such motors for about $20. I'm not sure of the RPM but I think they have both 18 and 6 rpm units.

Has anyone tried to hook up a ac adapter to the flex coat unit at Cabelas. Thats a great price but I don't like using things that run on batteries. Tom Re: low rpm motors

Steve, be sure to check on the shaft diameter of any motor you purchase - to be sure it'll fit what ever you want to put it on. Stan Re: low rpm motors

I would recommend you be sure to get a reversible-continuous duty motor. (Lake Pac-Bay has on their rod wrapper). You can save yourself some money if you build the setup yourself! Send me an email and tell you of some other sources.
Jay-That Herbach site has the biggest selection I have seen. They are slightly more expensive but they also have more torque generally speaking. I've been looking for a 1 rpm for a long time for marbleing. Ed Smith Re: low rpm motors

I'm in the process of trying to get a few different setups fabricated using motors from the Herbach site. The reason is that I've been through 'several' of the reversible motors you see on the various rodbuilding supply sites. I find that the clutches in those reversible motors wear out fairly rapidly. This could be that I do a good number of saltwater rods...many of which have fairly heavy guides on them. A set of SHD AFTCOs will wear out one of those motors pretty quick. In my situation I MUST use a drying motor. I own/manage a small restaurant and can't hand turn every rod that I do. Many times I epoxy in the morning, put in the dryer, and go to work. I may come home mid-afternoon and do another coat of epoxy, put in the dryer, and go back to work. On a big rod a third coat of epoxy may be necessary as I usually do thin coats to achieve a level finish. I sometimes do a coat late at night, put in the dryer, and go to bed. It's a real pain to come in and see those big wind-on guides sitting upside down in the dryer with epoxy all over them. Those little motors just don't do it for me...although they do work pretty good for the smaller rods I build.
At $5-$10 a piece, the motors I've found on the Herbach site seem reasonable. Plus I like the high torque and single direction rotation. I'll be experimenting with a 40 rpm for applying finish and some 3 rpm motors for drying. We'll see...might be a wast of $30 (about what I'll have in one 40rpm & 2-3rpm's plus materials to get them mounted) Jay Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
