I haven't had to buy any recently, but it sure seems like they are scarce. Dumpsters and trash day cruising seem to be the best source for these now. The windmill people have driven the prices up on eBay. Some of the RC people make there own out-runner motors. Some of these motors get up to 2 kW. Shaft sensors would be needed for our application. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
