Reviews

works right

The mixer motor was the right part. It bolted right in and the electrical connections matched up. After almost four months of duty it is still running strong in a tough commercial kitchen environment.

Very well designed and made

I bought this motor with rpm reduction to motorize a manual grain mill. This motor assembly is exactly what I needed. I searched for days to find something small, powerful, and low rpm that would work for my project, and nothing else combined all my criteria and was also fairly inexpensive. This product has a very powerful motor, connected to a double planetary reduction system using decent sized metal gears and output on 2 axes. Keep in mind that this is a 120VDC motor, and that is why i also bought the associated speed control board (approx. $55-60), which enabled digital processor control for 5 speeds in the range of 40-200rpm. I also wanted to thank Sears parts for the best price online!
