I can run from mains voltage, so supply isn't too much of a consideration in that I could use a Dc power supply to run a 12v motor (which I expect it will be) or anything else. The main factors are: Slow rpm - 10-30rpm ish. Run continuously for up to 1-2 hours. Quiet... This is for a home display so it must be quiet! Small - but I understand what is small? Ultimately this is going to be fitted under a circular base, approx 250mm diameter. Whatever the motor height is will raise the base. So the smaller the better to fit under a 25cm dial base. Any help appreciated. --- End quote --- Have a look at microwave oven turntable motors. These are thin (circa 12-15 mm) and run at the right sort of speed range. Mike |

Hi raynerd, Have a look at an old 5.25 inch floppy drive spindle motor, or even a 3.5 inch one. The motors have the controller built in, I'm sure that they can be controlled digitally. They are pancake type motors and are around 1/2" thick. HTH. |
