Hi all!

I have been looking for some time for an electric motor that is not too
long, something like 35mm with the shaft included. It does not matter if it
ends up being a bit larger than usual.

Thanks for your help!

How powerful does it need to be?  The AXI 2212 series are about that size
and they are more powerful than the average speed 400 motor.

Thanks, Paul, Exactly what I was looking for.

Don't you love the newsgroups?

Try looking in the model railway/railroad world.  There should be plenty of
motors like you describe.

http://www.cometmodels.co.uk will give you some idea of what is available.
Click on the "Motors and Gearboxes" link.

The Mashima MH1624 looks suitable if you are prepared to remove the flywheel
shaft.

I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

The Mabuchi "mini/baby" motors have been available for years out of
Japan. They start/stop with a flick of a finger so they're real handy
for aircraft props. Available from hlj.com the last time I looked.

You probably want an outrunner then. They are large diameter, but short.

You can make our won from CD-ROM drives.

Contrillers are not cheap tho.

go to www.ezonemag.com and check out power systems discussion group.

Actually, the controllers have come down significantly in price recently.
For example, the new Castle Creations Thunderbird-9 is less than $30.
