variable speed electric motor help.
(OP)
I need to build a small conveyor belt. I must be able to fine tune the speed of the belt (it must move about 16'' every 45 seconds-very slow). What kind of motor do I need? Could I use a 110v, 60hz pump motor and a speed control? thank you!

You won't be able to find a single phase variable speed induction motor
If it's in continuous service a 3 phase motor and VFD would be more reliable. You can run the VFD on single phase at a reduced output.
Hope this helps

For the stepper motor, what you'll need to do is calculate the torque required and the rest is easy. You'll vary your step frequency to vary your speed. This can be used with a gearbox to increase torque if necessary.

If it is broken, fix it. If it isn't broken, I'll soon fix that.

You can find them pretty cheaply on Ebay or I have some used ones,(excellent shape), laying around I'd sell you for cheap.
