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 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
