electric motor/ single speed/ 600 -800 revs

Hi again guys.



Thank you very much for your replies, they have been very helpful.



I have spent a couple of days field testing my spin art box ( I used a pottery wheel which is too slow but still had the general idea with a variable speed pedal) and for the moment variable speed motors are now not needed.

I initially thought it would be a good idea for the kids to be able to control the speed so they can choose how the art comes out. BUT they just end up playing with the speed controller instead of doing any art! :) (SHould have known)



I will investigate variable speed in the future when building machines for myself and adults etc.



So now I just need a single speed motor that runs at about 6-800 rpm.



Single on off switch.



Needs to work for five or six hours a day on and off.



Only needs to take the weight of a 30cm x 40 cm light wooden framed canvas and a metal jig to hold it.



Needs to be safe as kids will be using it at schools etc.



I'm thinking a washing machine motor would be overkill, and use unnecessary power. Bit of overkill.



Thanks again



Ben
