24VDC 3/4HP motors

[eded59]

anybody think these could be used for servo motors with an encoder of course
Leeson Motor 108052
They are 24 VDC 29 amps and 1800 rpm??
Thanks

You will have a job finding drives.
For less than that price you could get Fanuc or Gettys DC servo's probabally with encoders off ebay.

I thought that might be a problem, any other ideals what to use them for? There's 4 brand new ones in the scrap metal bin. I could maybe build another remote control riding mower, I used wheel chair motors before with similar ratings..

Hell, hook up a big propeller on them and generate your own wind power !

hmmmm... windmill SOUNDS good... but a 3/4hp blade would be what... maybe 6' dia..... 6' dia will go maybe 300rpm, 500 before self destruct.... so 300/1800*24v=4vdc output..... wont charge his 12v battery.unless geared up.... I used 2:1 timing belt on my 12' dia windmill and custom wound my servo motor for 400v/krpm!

if you have an electric mower, this is about the right size for the cutter blade; I bought a couple of maybe these same leesons to rebuild the blades on my GE Electrak 36v electric riding mower......

Well i can't stand to see them go to the scrap yard, maybe I'll covert a small ZTR to total electric "in my spare time"...

ha! I have lots of neat stuff I rescued from the scrap yard that I swear I am going to use for a project some day too! We think alike!!
