Diameter/AC Motor

Diameter/AC Motor

Diameter/AC Motor

(OP)
I am looking to find the following:

1-1.5hp ac motor
min 3600 rpm
115-230v
1 phase


With the smallet diameter housing possible...Any suggestions...

RE: Diameter/AC Motor

You may be able to run an AC servo motor with a VFD.  Single phase 230V input.  Could probably get the inverter or around $250.

Servo's are the smallest package I know of.

Submersible pump motor 4" diameter or even possibly 3 inch if you want to spend considerably more for the same hp.

What's your application?

RE: Diameter/AC Motor

Jim,

Problem there is cooling the motor: the pump motors get a lot of power from a small volume because they rely on the pumped media to provide cooling - run one at full load in air and watch for the magic smoke!

RE: Diameter/AC Motor

(OP)
I am in the design stage of an abrasive tool, and I would like to use the motor/shaft as the driving mech., but I need as much clearance as possible off the face of the motor.

RE: Diameter/AC Motor

There are several companies that make router motors.  Perske is one.

RE: Diameter/AC Motor

Induction machine, or universal? Universal machines can get a lot of power out of a very small volume because they run at very high speeds. They have a lot of disadvantages: relatively short life, arcing, noisy to name some of them. Do these matter in your application? The majority of hand-held power tools use universal motors.
