#82590 - low-speed
Responding to: ???'s previous message
My first suggestion is to use a motor( with or without a gearbox) with excess power so the variable load has minimal impact. This is not necesarily the most economical solution!

But he only wants very low speed; 60-100 rpm!
Very few electric motors (especially small DC motors) are designed to give continuous high torque at such low speed.

For many small DC motors, I think 60-100 rpm would probably count as "stalled!"

I think Steve is right - a gearbox is needed.

Farnell (among others) do gearbox kits if you don't have any Meccano...

Another though is to use a cheapy chinese made power drill - it may even have a speed control.

But, again, I doubt this would go down to 60 rpm.

A cheap electric screwdriver might be better - and they're very cheap these days!
