Re: Sewing Machine Motor w/foot pedal?
|
We are talking a lot, and I am not sure that there have been definitive?answers,?at least that I understand.? Who here has a Unimat currently operating with a normal sewing machine motor?? Not some special expensive thing, not online, not DC, just an AC motor taken from a regular Singer,etc.? Photos?? Do they overheat or are at least as good as the original motor? Thanks to all -- John Hutnick
Well, the other option that has been discussed before, and never brought to a conclusion, is to use a brushless motor from the radio control field. They pack a lot of power into a small volume. Controllers are available. Speed control can be reliable. Life is short, but running them at lower than rated power will help with that.
Previous discussions never got as far as showing an example that works, along with enough information to copy the setup or find an equivalent. It doesn't help that the RC specs are all in a strange foreign language which talks of Kv factors and LiPos instead of RPM, Watts, Amps and Volts.
Anyone out there got a working example we can look at?
