Hello there!
I am trying to fix my grandmother's sewing machine, replacing the old motor with a new one. The old motor worked at 4.500 rpm, so I figured I would try and find a similar one. Thus I did, but I was sent a different motor than the one I ordered and this one works at 10.000 rpm. It's too fast for the sewing machine so I figured I would try to reduce, besides the pedal itself, the output rpm (I am trying not to do it using pulleys or gears because of space). I have basic knowledge of electrics and electronics and I am ready to learn and investigate to fulfil this project, but I don't really know how to start.
I will attach some pictures of the motor and the pedal as well as extra information about the motor.
GOAL:
Reduce the rpm of the motor in half and be able to still use the pedal to control the velocity of the motor. The maximum rpm being reduced to half of the initial 10.000. Basically I want to use the pedal to control the motor's velocity being able to make it spin at a max. velocity of 5000 rpm
I want to thank you for taking your time reading the thread, I hope you will be able to help me!
