I know next to nothing about motors. But I have a specific need for a motor with the following applications.
Reversible
variable speed
instant stopping ability
at least a 1000 RPM
Has a 1/2" chuck
Would be nice if it could plug into 120
Does such an animal exist? If so any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I truly thank you for your time and help in this matter. If you need anything else from me please let me know.
Unfortunately we only sell DC motors (not AC). You would need a transformer / AC-DC wall adapter. All DC motors are reversible and variable speed (best using a DC motor controller). 1000 RPM means around a 5:1 to 10:1 gear box added to the front. Not sure what you mean by 1/2: chuck? The one issue is “stopping instantly”; you can stop a motor, but there is some inertia; perhaps you can explain your application?

Good Afternoon CBenson,
I truly appreciate your patience in this.
I am constructing a mini lathe of sorts with motors on both end of the axis. I need to have some torque on each motor and for them to be able to change direction. The stopping is important because I am depending on the number of twists to do my calculations. The variable speed would need to be able to control both motors at the same time. When I talk of a chuck I am thinking in terms of a cordless drill. The chuck is what the bit is used to attach to. Once again thank you for all the help it really is appreciated.
Regarding installing a chuck, you’d need a commercial chuck and use a shaft adapter to connect the output of the motor to the shaft of the chuck.
When building a lathe, torque is very important, because whatever it is cutting is trying to stop the rotation.
As such, we’d suggest something quite powerful, but that will depend on the size of the lathe. Can you give us an better idea?
Note that using one motor on the same shaft often causes issues since, even in ideal situations, there are small variations in the RPM such that the motors don’t spin at exactly the same speed.
