Flat/squat motor 12v

Hi everybody,

I'm new and don't see where to put a profile yet. Never mind - I have a question, because I have a prototype of a consumer gadget which works quite well. It is made of scrap and I am now learning 123D so as to form it professionally. The present motor is too high, in the vertical sense, and runs on 110v using a USA transformer in the UK. I need 12v and have looked around various places for a flatter, not necessarily pancake, but maybe 35 - 45mm height motor. The width could be anything up to 100mm. RPM needs to be about 3000, unless torque is very high, allowing me to use gears. Any ideas?

Thanks, Peter W

Stepper motors often come in a flatter pancake format

Hi Peter, 12 volts makes me think automotive. I do not know if you want to continue using salvage to make it but years ago when I was servicing audio electronics there were many motors about the size that you describe used in cassette and 8 track car stereos. If you do decide to use one of these they usually have some sort of speed regulator. Depending on your application you could either adjust the regulator to your desired RPM or bypass it to get the max RPM for a given voltage.
