I need a synchronous motor...

[K9CCH]

Long story short, I'm attempting to fabricate a fishing rod dryer. They are available commercially, but if I can find one of these motors for $4, I can fabricate one with scrap materials I already own.

I need a 9 or 10rpm, 110v AC mini motor. I've found this one on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Synchronous-Motor-Robust-TYD-50-110V-AC-8-10RPM-CCW-Torque-4Kgf-cm-4W-Brand-New-/151811038828), but I'm hesitant.

Here are my questions:

- Since this is 100-130v AC, I should be able to connect the leads with a regular household plug, correct? No converter needed.
- It operates at 50/60Hz, would this produce a lot of noise?
- It's torque is 4 kgf/cm, so surely it would be able to turn a 1lb rod right, since 4kgf/cm=55ozf/in.


Thanks in advance fellow geeky friends.

Thanks in advance fellow geeky friends.1 Kg=2.2 Lbs, so 4 Kg=8.8 lb. 60 hz is house current, yes it is 117 vac and should be fairly quiet. I am assuming it is rated at intermittent duty. At $4.00 per motor, you have room to experiment. Do NOT apply power without the physical load attached. If you do, you might see smoke!

Why would I see smoke? It's an 8/10rpm motor so it shouldn't spin any faster than that right?

Just a thought. If you can find one of those old BBQ rotisserie motors. They are either 110 or 12v and have plenty of torque. If it can turn a 10 pound piece of meat it can turn a fishing pole.

A old windshield wiper drive motor (12V, with a gearhead attached) will work nicely for this application. Vary the speed with a PWM controller and you won't lose torque if you run the thing at less than its rated speed.

An area buddy of mine is going to build a case annealer for his reloading bench and we're going to use such a motor to turn the case holder disc. I'll see if I can get a model number from it next I see him. IIRC, the setup cost no more than $10 at our local junk yard.

Check with Fair Radio Sales and Surplus Sales of NE. One or the other may have just what you need... I know Fair Radio has an online catalog, I'm not sure about Surplus.

You might also look around for an old synchronous motor of the type used in clocks. They run at 1 rpm, and you'd most likely need to build or buy a small gear box to get the speed and torque you are looking for.. But I really like the idea of the rotisserie motor. That should do a good job as is, and you ought to be able to find those at garage sales at a low price. Plus, look at the possibility of finding a whole boat load of shit you don't even know you need.

i am confussed why would you need to dry a fishing rod?
i could see the use if you wanted to remount an eyelet
:dunno:

Lacquer it up and rotate under a heat lamp for even curing, perhaps?

Here you go, look halfway down the page in the PDF.

Yes. The guides are held on by thread wrapped around the guide foot and the rod. Then you put a coat of epoxy over the thread to seal them in. Rotating it while drying ensures it doesn't sag and drys evenly.

I'm actually going to build my rod from scratch, scratch. Like the rod blank, the guides, the reel seat, colors, thread, etc etc.... It's going to be completely built custom.

Bob mocks your hardcore craftsmanship.

just remember the little hole goes on the pointy end

Also, when you are in your boat, the pointy end goes first.

Gees I forgot how much fun y'all were. LOL!

I guess I left that one wide open.

You said it!

Just remember the pointy end goes in the little hole.

Just remember that a little hole makes one pointy.

YAY for meeeee!!!

[K7SGJ]

Easy there. All the ham radio spelunkers are getting excited and are topping off their oil lamps..........

I prefer carbide.

Talk to Bob, he puts it in the Vasoline. The bastid.

[K9CCH]

So here is what I needed the synchronous motor for. It's not a pretty rod turner, but it works!
