I need a small gearhead electric motor, 115V with an output shaft speed around 200 RPM, but buying a new one could be pricey. Princess Auto were selling some in their surplus section that were originally from a xerox machine. but of course with surplus, they've got what they've got only when they've got it, and they're not stocking it any more. Anybody know of similar sources?

Try the Surplus Center, if what you want isn't on the web site, call them.

Try ebay, they have them in all types and sizes. I needed one for a power feed for my mill-drill and wasn't sure whatI needed. I bought 5 of them before I got one that did the job. Engineman1
What type/model did you find satisfactory? The feed screw is acme thread?

They've generally got a fair selection of small motors at good prices, but know what it is you're buying. Pragmatist

Have you thought about using a variable speed elelctric drill motor??? They are low in cost and can easily be modified.

The first one was AC and I had a DC controller, the vendor sent me a DC motor and let me keep the first one. The second one didn't have enough power and slowed down on heavy cuts. The 3rd had plenty of power but was so heavy it deflected my table anf the 4th had a short in the armature winding that raised hell with my controller. The one I'm using now is so long it's clumsy but it does the job.

Thanks, I remember the one eBay motor you asked about here in RCM.. I'm glad things finally worked out for your application. The 140:1 gear ratio is probably capable of supplying plenty of torque for almost any small-medium sized table feed operation.
