Where Can I Find an Affordable, Quiet, and Reversible Gear Motor?

AI Thread Summary
Affordable gear motors suitable for low-budget projects can be found with specifications including 110v or 12v voltage, 15-20 RPM, and 100 in-lb torque. Key features desired are quiet operation, reversibility, and ideally a soft start and stop function to prevent abrupt activation. Tracking rotation for programming start and stop points is essential, with built-in solutions preferred. Various sources exist globally for surplus gear motors, making it easier to find suitable options. Exploring these resources can lead to finding the right gear motor for specific project needs.

I am looking for somewhere to get a gear motor for a very low budget project, specs as follow:

Voltage = prefer 110v, could be 12 if the price is right
RPM = 15-20
Torque = 100 inlb
Quiet as possible
Reversible

Something else that would be a bonus:
Soft start and stop, gradual start up so it is not an abrupt shock when it kicks in
I have to beable to track the rotation of the motor so I can program various start and stop points. I have another method of doing this but something built into the motor would be far easier.

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
