200 RPM Drying motor

This is follow-up from the dryer question asked a few days ago. Where can I find a 200 RPM motor thta is capatible with the Flex Coat Slip Clutch?

I would try calling John or Roger @ FlexCoat. They use that motor on the FM200, but don't actually package it for sale separately. Maybe they would be willing to sell you just the motor ... worth a try and they are fun to talk with anyway.

Just out of curiosity, why in the world would you want a 200 rpm motor.
If you apply finish at that speed, I find that it simply flies off the blank.

If you want a 200 rpm motor, check out @#$%& for dc gear motors. Lots of such motors there.
In particular the Pitney motors are very good. Typically, they will run on either 12 or 24 volts dc.

You may have to make an adapter to adpat the shaft size of the motor to the flex coat clutch.

However, I pesonally find that a better solution is to use my rod wrapping lathe - which is powered with a 300 rpm dc gear motor and foot pedal to control the speed.
That way, I can have the blank stopeed,, or rotating at any speed up to 300 rpm.


After getting the coating in place, I switch the finished rod over to my rod drying machine which uses 6 rpm timing motors for the overnight run and drying.

Take care
Roger

The above listed motors are all DC gear motors of various voltages.
In order to drive these motors, you will need a dc power supply.

Since the output speed of these motors are directly proportional to the applied voltage, if you use a variable voltage dc power supply you will get a variable speed motor at the press of a foot or turn of a knob; depending on your power supply.

I personally prefer these type motors since you can reverse the direction, by flipping the polarity of the voltage by a cross wired doble pole double throw switch, and vary the speed, by changing the applied voltage to the motor.

Many of these motors will have a metric output shaft, which will not match up with a standard 1/4 inch typical hole in a clutch or arbor - without making an adapter.

Take care
Roger

The Flex Coat Slip Clutch will attach to any motor with a 1/4in. shaft.

Call Roger Seiders at 512-858-7742 and ask him for the 200rpm motor.

The only thing that "flies" when using the 200 rpm finishing system by Flexcoat is "rods out the door"! I would guess that there are at least 5,000 rods a day done using them in the USA.

Roger that's what I thought also when I first heard about using a 200 RPM motor but more and more people are going wih this motor for application purposes. I think my epoxy lines will come out much strighter with this method and it will cut my application time in half. I like the clutch idea so I can stop the rod with the touch of a finger rather thatn moving a foot pedal along the length of the rod. I am going to hook up a variable speed switch to slow it down for drying.

Scott,

Check with Roger Seiders to see if the motor has brushes in it before you put a speed control in line. Brushless motors often don't run properly on voltages lower that they are rated at.

I got one from All Electronics or Surplus Center. I can't rember which. I put a Router Speed Controler with a petal switch. I slow it down to about 40 rpm to apply finish. Once I get a thin coat I increase the speed. I'll run it up to about 200 rpm to get good leveling. (I have been known to throw finish all over the place) After 2- 5 minutes I put it on a slower motor. I don't have any idea if this is compatible with the Flexcoat system. I know Ralph O'Quinn has used similar techniques.
