I have a combined motor and screw drive (to 90 deg).
It's original purpose was to convert car windows to electric drive... my guess is that it is at least 25 years old, and made in Japan.
For scale... the width of the motor casing is 50mm (as you look at it)
I'm making a motorised turntable.
The jig is coming along nicely, but I need to start thinking of a PSU and could do with some assistance.
I don't have a PSU but I've tested the motor momentarily on an 8A battery charger.
It rotates at a reasonable speed ie. around 120 rpm.
(I attached an indicator wire to the output shaft and counted 60 turns to 30 seconds)
This is in the ball park area (by amazing good fortune)
It probably has more potential power than I need... primarily I'm looking to rotate up to a motorcycle barrel.
Clearly it would be nice to control the speed... perhaps a bit faster, or a bit slower (more likely).
Maybe I need to have adjustable voltage... perhaps that would be useful for bringing the turntable up to speed.
I have a very nice Rollei PSU - AC 12V max - 100VA - click adjustable 110V, 120V, 130V, 220V, 230V, 240V
I don't need to use it, but I note this for information purposes.
Having looked on eBay... the transformers seem to be highlighted for LED strip, and CCTV usage.
Typically 12V 15A 180W.
None are controllable by 'twist knob' - but I've not gone into it in depth.
I don't mind adding controllers... I can solder.
However, I thought it best to get an overview from the forum, on what direction I should be looking at.
