Hi, new here. Name is Jordan. My friend told me this would be a great place to seek advice.
I have a 1/8 hp 115vDC Bodine NSH-54RL right angle gearmotor that I am using in a project. I need it to run off 120vAC household current and be able to control the RPM's of the motor.
So far in my research ive found that i need to use a rectifier to convert the AC to DC and a capacitor to 'smooth out the current flow/RPMs'.
I already have an AC speed controller in the form of a fan/light dimmer inline on an extension cord. (can i use this in my project or no?)
So basically i want to learn what kind/size rectifier and capacitor to use.
Would this work as my rectifier? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CQLLEOM...UTF8&colid=15W04GFTEUTK&coliid=I116BXVJRBHGX6
And how would i control the speed (if i cant use my already made dimmer controller)
Much thanks!
Jordan
