I am constructing a duel axis solar tracker and I need a motor that will run at low speed and have about 100 in-lbs of torque. Something like a motor in a treadmill. Any ideas?

I'm not sure of the torque, but if you are after 12v, what about car windscreen wiper motor/s? They seem quite powerful and cheap.

A stepper motor should be good for this..."Theory guides. Experiment decides."
“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.”

You need a motor with a worm gear assembly. Look into the ones used to move satellite dishes. They're generally 24 volts.Comment
