Good day. I have a treadmill motor i want to control. It is specified as a 3HP, 30A 90V DC motor, i think it's almost obicuitous in threadmills.

I used a relatively cheap controller from china good for 30 amps and 12vdc (requires a reversing switch). I ran a 100 volt dc motor with a full wave bridge rectifier (cheap from Radio Shack)and a variable transformer and it did a good job for speed control for the carriage feed on a bandsawmill that I built. Hope this helps..

You need to get a PWC rated for 90 to 120 volts DC motors at 30 Amps. This unit is too small, but they make larger versions. Enclosed units are much easier to use as they also contain protective circuitry that the cheaper kits do not.

The problem is the treadmill requires to many volts for this switch. When you do ohms law your treadmill is to many watts for this unit. It is only rated to 65v I think

I have not put mine to work yet my project is taking longer then i thought, will post outcome with resaults once it's tested sorry could not help you on info. at this time.

you need a DC motor with a speed controller to control it. Leeson makes a good speed control. you will have the same power all through the speeds. you can't do that with an AC motor.

I can think of two options: 1 There are dozens of variations of this motor. Keep looking around until you find one the right length and speed. 2. cut off 1/4" so this motor fits in your application.

I do not see why it would not work for your tread mill. Anything using a motor which in a surge happenstance is protected here. Amp draw is not an issue.

Best guess is that unless you are a mechanical wizard the integrated nature of the motor and fan will not allow you to merely replace the current motor with this motor. I found that the motor was customized to the fan and could not be just attached. I ordered an entirely different and fully contained replacement for my nutone fan, though I cannot find on my system where I ordered it now. DJH

Hi Kelly:I own that treadmill and have not had that experience, but, I can offer a few suggestions. 1)Unplug the device, wait one minute, and plug it back in.If that does not work-try another wall plug to see if there is a voltage problem. You may also call at 801-973-9993. Good luck

In theory, you could run the gearbox backwards to drive the small DC motors as a generator. I wouldn't expect to get a large amount of energy from the machine, or expect the machine to handle long term operation, but it could be used as a simple illustrative device.

Radio shack maybe, Might not be exact same model but close or if they have new ones that work replace them both if you can. Ebay probably be best bet to find similar motor. Or find out what manufacture built them contact them see if you can buy new motors

I don't have it by me for the voltage but that should all be in the description or you can look it up online.and you can plug in the foot motor or move a knob in the front front left to right control the speed.

My apologies for taking so long to answer...I am not sure; I bought this extension cord for my camper and can't give you a good answer. I'd suggest calling the treadmill manufacturer and ask them. Thanks!

this may help. hoes maybe to short.just a guess. ck the volts to much power will make the motor run faster. if any of THESE will not work send it back. thanks

Sorry, I didn't post my entire results. I ended up replacing the DC motor for the bike twice. The second time was a charm. I now have two good control panels. I would recommend requesting the DC motor. It is not easy to replace, and there are no instructions included with it. I spent a bit of time fiddling with it to make the resistance appropriate.

I assume with power plug out of supply out let, then you can rotate wheel easily. If so check power supply specifically voltage and frequency. (You can do this by plugging into a source that powers another motor at correct speed. It is hard to wire a motor to run at wrong speed they typically run on do not run. In any case I do not think you should use it if the speed is not correct. High chance to damage motor and/or the operator.

This is a speed control, rated for 50 amps MAX. You do not control amps, you just must make sure you use a motor rated for 50 amps or less

never tried it ,motors are DC should be possible. Safety first E mail factory!

We were using a motor shield and could run 3 motors with a 9 volt. They're supposed to be like 3.5v each, you can run it by just hooking it up to the 9v. Careful with too much current (amps), that's what will fry it.

I'm sorry I can't help. My grandson used the motor in a school project which unfortunately was destroyed by some unknown person at his school. We did not keep the booklet that came with the motor. I hope one of the other purchasers will have the information you need.
