Id like to find a decent way to put a motor on my barley crusher but I am conflicted on which way to go.
I like the simplicity of the drill, however I am also thinking about maintaining a constant low rpm. An eletric motor would give me this. The problem then becomes which eletric motor to go with.
A dc motor would be nice as a low rpm/high torqe option, direct drive method, but I think its the most expensive option, not sure about that though.
I have recently found this on ebay, but the RPMs seem to be a bit on the high side. Would I need any additional electrical hardware with this and would there be a way to tone down the rpms with this.
The belt driven ac motor is also a nice option, but I have heard that bearings tend to wear out.
basicly I am looking for a nice system that does not include a drill drive, but if its more expensive than the drill drive method then I will just go with that.
Any and all ideas about this, please respond.
