They call those synchronous motors. Something to be aware of with that style is that most of them have a 50/50 change of starting in either direction. The advantage of the geared shade-pole motors I used here is that they only start in one direction. My general electric microwave in the shop seems to start counter-clock-wise most of the time, but sometimes it goes clockwise. If you do find something that works in a single direction, try to target around 50 to 60 inches per minute surface speed on the belt. That seems to be the sweet spot for those standard rubber timing belts.
I could attach it to an M-Code, but it's better to skim late at night when the machine is off and the oil has floated to the top of the sump. I built two skimmers, the other for the Mazak lathe. I will connect both skimmers to a GFCI and a timer. I'll set them to run for 30 minutes every night around 3:00 AM.
@@ryannoppe247, the motor is a common shaded pole gear reduction motor. They are used in pellet stoves and other industrial uses. Search the internet for "pellet stove auger motor" and you'll find these everywhere. Belt surface-speed is important. A 10RPM motor works well. My other one has a 16RPM gearbox and its on the border of too fast. Both skimmers have a 1.75" drive pulley. So for the 10RPM skimmer that's about 55 inches per minute belt speed.
thanks for idea...thinking a microwave turntable motor would work their from 30 rpm down to 15 rpm...usally free by the curbside

What type of belt
Material name...?
Sorry I didn't see this a year ago. I used standard rubber timing belts:
(Gates 210L100 PowerGrip Timing Belt)
hello sir. what kind of motor did you use?
can you tell me that motor's part number?
Looks like a 42847YN
Outstanding, do you have an "M" code for it?

cwtoyota that makes more sense than running it while the coolant is circulating, shows you how much I know lol
Cheers bud
What are you using for a motor

Awesome I hope to build a few using your design. I appreciate the help
Number pls
