I am in a process of rebuilding my homemade wrapper, and at some point i decided to go ahead with adding a sewing machine motor to it. I have a motor and pedal, its 5000 rpm motor. I know i need to add rheostat or speed controller to slow it down to wrapping speed, but not sure which one to buy and how exactly do it to make it work.
I am looking at something like this [www.amazon.com] Will it work? I will be using separate dc motor for drying and applying finish Re: Speed controller

I read numerous posts regarding using dc motor for wrapping, and open to that idea as well. However, i cannot find any information on foot pedal for use with dc motor. Anyone knows where i can find one? I have manual speed controller for 24v dc motor, from 1 to 100 rpm, which will be used for finishing and drying. If i can add foot pedal to it i can use it for wrapping Re: Speed controller

Sergiy,
I used a sewing machine motor when I built my wrapper. I also used the foot pedal from the portable sewing machine. I just picked up a rheostat from the local hardware store and wired it in line of the 120 volt supply to the motor. The rheostat is one that is used as a light dimmer switch. It works great!

Thanks for answers
I already have dc speed controller [www.amazon.ca] It works good with my 100 rpm 24v motor. Not sure if it can be use with the pedal you talking about. Re: Speed controller

Sergiy,
It is likely that your controller could be used with the pedal that I referenced. Disassemble the controller and check out the variable resistor and let me know. If you can, take a picture and mail it to me and I can let you know for sure. Good luck Roger Re: Speed controller

Roger, for some reason i cannot find your initial answer anymore. It has dissapeared somehow and i cannot see it.
I did check prices for the pedal you have mentioned and unfortunately its too much of unjustifiable investments for me. I dont build tor money, its hobby for me which i do love. I will look in option of maybe getting used pedal and do conversion you are talkng about. I still want to find the answer if the co controller i mentioned initially would work. It seems like much less expensive option and might work just fine. P.S. Tom, sorry if somehow i unintentionally have broken forum rules. I was just looking for answer which i cannot find anywhere.

Some links to various foot pedal designs using the rack and pinion design theory to extend the amount of resistor rotation due to foot pedal action.
