Hi all,

I have just bought this small Parvalux motor for Ebay to try to use as a power up & own on the head of my Warco WM18 Mill.

The specs of the unit are:

Details
1440 RPM motor (at 24vDC)
40 RPM at output (at 24v)
will run on 12v (approx 20 rpm)
40 watt,
Gearbox Parvalux worm and wheel 2.81 Nm

Approx 60mm diameter rubber drive wheel on a 8mm shaft.

Does the 'panel' think that this is going to be suitable for my anticipated use?

I had a look at the 24V power supplies on eBay and was completely boggled by the vast number available. I know very little about electrics and wonder which would be the best thing to get. It would be great if there was a dual 12V/24 unit as I could use the 12V for other things also. Would it work as a charger for small batteries (12V) and for a small electrolysis unit?

Could the unit run the up and down on the mill at 2 speeds by switching voltage?

Given my lack of know how here should I leave well alone and get someone in to do this?

Really just trying this as I am chuffed to bits with the x axis power feed I just did using Ian Parkin's help and great idea.

Cheers, Martin
