Hi,
I'm trying to find a source of 24 rpm synchronous motors to build epoxy mixers here in the UK.
I've read one of Tom's articles in volume 6 #4 from June 2003 where he suggests MECI as a good source and found them here in the UK, unfortunately they can't help, so where do you guys get them?
The slow rpm ones are readily available over here as they are used in microwaves etc, but these 24rpm ones seem impossible to find.
Any help would be welcome.
Cheers,
Phil.

Phil,
Here is a 16 rpm -
[www.distel.co.uk]

24 rpm - but very expensive:

In addition, don't discount the use of a dc motor. You can easily obtain a plug in transformer, to plug into your wall outlet and get 12 or 24 volts dc out of the transformer. Then , if you find a dc low rpm motor - simply connect the transformer output to the motor leads.

Take care

Phillip,

At this link, is a 30 RPM motor at 60 Hertz, but will run at 25 Rpm at 50 Hertz --- Cost $3.50 USD

At this link, is a 16 RPM motor at 60 Hertz, but will run at 13.3 RPM at 50 hertz --- Cost $4.00 USD :

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, still looking though.
Have been in contact with the manufacturers in China but as yet they've not replied. I'm trying to understand who buys these things in and then assembles the mixers etc. someone somewhere must be the source, unless of course all the suppliers buy in from China ready assembled.
