As posted pulled out the nice brushless motor from the Simpson washing machine and yesterday spent some time thinking about how make the motor mount assembly.
The motor needs to adjust in all four directions, front to back for pulley adjustment and left to right for belt tension.
The motor runs at 1400rpm, perfect for this type of application and has ample power.
Rigged up a motor mount box that can move front to back to line up the pulleys and the motor can pivot on the top mounting bracket for adjusting belt tension.
I would prefer to have the motor the other way around and tucked under the table to reduce the footprint but...the motor turns clockwise so I would have to reverse the direction buy swapping the start winding but...not possible as this motor can not be pulled apart - no screws.
OK...will move the motor under the table still facing in the same direction and mount the wheel pulley directly to the back of the wheel...
