I am developing a prototype for what I hope to be an OEM application that involves motion control with constant reversing and variable speed (only about 1/4HP required).
I definitely want to use an electric motor (as opposed to pnuematic, hydraulic, etc.) and it seems like a 3-phase induction...
I am developing a robotic app which requires quick changes
in direction and speed.
For reliability, I want to avoid brushes and so it seems my
choice is either 3-phase induction (squirrel cage) or
brushless DC.
The app will require approximately 3/4hp & 0-2400rpm.
My power will be wall current...
