what are benefits of using two circuits with different voltages?

 

What do you mean by the two circuits and voltages?

a circuit with two different voltages i mean

 

These motors are often variably controlled with a simple triac 'dimmer' style controller, they operate in a run-away condition, IOW the RPM depends alot on the load as well as voltage..
Being series field, they have a fair amount of torque.

There is two filed wingdings Some are wired Field -armature- field. all in series, ensure you connect the two field up so they are wound in the same direction as below.
In some cases the armature is between the filelds, others the armature is after both fields.

Ill draw a diagram of this motor so i can show it better. I feel like my explanations werent that good.

 

If you are nervous of energizing from 120/240 etc, try it first on low voltage, a automotive battery should show results.

Your motor has both field windings separate wired, so you must make sure they are in series the same way or the motor won't run, here is a video of how to test it on a battery.

heres a crude drawing of the motor. i did it in paint since photoshop didnt want to launch...

Would the motor move with low voltage? Its a 230v. I guess it would move but not with the correct rpm. I also would guess its an AC motor?

It is a Universal motor, so it will operate on AC or DC.
Even at 12vdc, it should spin up to some degree to show it is operating OK.
Wire the motor power to one field through the armature to the other field, the second field will be connected to the other power conductor. i.e. series.
Try it on L.V.
If it does not spin, swap conductors on one field.

would this work? or how should i wire it? and i guess polarity doesnt really matter.

 

Try this, if it fails to run swap the Brown and Yellow field wires round.

i will try this. Ill see if i can test it today or then ill do it tomorrow. Thank you all for the quick help and thank you for teaching me alot of new info

I wired it as you told me and it worked. i used a 18v drill battery to test it and it seems to be running like it should. Is there a way to run it in reverse?

i got it working. Thank you for the help. It wouldnt be running without it

 

Yes to reverse it swap the Brush wires round.
