Extreme range for motors
Extreme range for motors
(OP)
I am looking at spinnning some very lightweight stuff in a large range from say 1 rpm to 500 rpm. I want a DC motor but I know that I won't be able to get below a certain point if I get a 5000 rpm motor. I am thinking of using a gearbox to get down that low, but am looking for suggestions on any off the shelf motors and/or gearboxes for this application. Also, this is a small sized application, Not looking for huge industiral motors, something a couple inches in diameter.
Please Help!

If you go with DC, try to incorporate current limiters in the circuits. Stall torque is much higher than operating torque, unlike AC gearmotors. Experiment with various current limiter ranges to get the right response and protection. Good luck.
