Well Ebay came through again. I got a great deal on this Leeson 1/4 HP TEFC 2.5 Amp 90VDC motor. It was been used to power a conveyor. The plug on it is not an AC plug. It's some kind of strange DC plug. The motor is a lot bigger than I thought. The output shaft is 5/8" diameter keyed. Took me an hour to wrestle that pulley off. I will be installing the Taig pulley set on it.
This is the controller I ordered from Surplus Center for variable speed control of the motor. These are the specs:- Input: 115 or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz
- Armature voltage (115 VAC IN): 0-90 VDC
- Armature voltage (230 VAC IN): 0-180 VDC
- 5 Amps output, 10 Amps w/heatsink
- 1/8 Hp to 1 Hp @ 90 VDC
- 1/4 Hp to 2 Hp @ 180 VDC
- 1% regulation over 60:1 speed range
- Size 4-5/16" x 3-19/32" x 1-19/32"
This controller and motor combination should work great. I expect the lathe to have plenty of power for any type of operation I may attempt. As soon as I get everything running, I'll post an update.
