Which motor to use?
Which motor to use?
(OP)
I am currently doing a project and was wondering if anyone could help. I want to use a motor which will be capable of lifting a 14 stone man using a worm wheel. I wish to use mains power and wa wondering what type of transformer i would need and what type of motor.

I know of PM motors that are used in the healthcare industry to lift wheelchairs and such into vehicles. There are some that use worm gearing that can lift 300 lbs using only 12 VDC. These may be of no use to you, depending on distance of lift, but they are less than 1 HP and may be cheaper.
