Hello,not quite sure if this is the correct forum,but here goes....I bought a used Dumore electric motor for my bench top CNC mill spindle motor that I'm building.It is 230 volt single phase, .5 HP,AC-DC at 3 amps,with 2 wires.On the badge it says under no load 18000 RPM and under load,8000 RPM.I will attach a pic of the badge.Now the questions,.....can I operate it on AC or DC?Can I have variable speed with some sort of Variac?,Is it reversible if it turns the wrong direction?I have a Penta Power,KB electronics regenerative drive that with 230 volts in,will give 0-+_180 volts DC out,would that function with this motor?What kind of belt system can tolerate this speed with out blowing up?I should mention that it is a brushed motor.I bought it for the RPM's and for the compact size,but i hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot
thanks for any and all comments
Regards,Steve
