First off great website.A wealth of info.(mostly over my head though. LOL)
I need help figuring what i need to control direction and possibly speed for a 1/2hp 3ph 230/440v AC 40:1 gearmotor im using on a welding fixture.
Its got to rotate left and right. We have 3ph 220/440v power supply. I do know the switch i need needs to return to a neutral or stop the motor upon release of the button. much like a basic chain hoist switch works.
I was thinking if i can control motor rpm i could use a 20:1 gearbox to get thicker teeth and last longer.
Any ways i need suggestions for my shopping list.
