Hi guys,

We are running into issues trying to source an appropriate motor for our cutting blade for our lawn mower. I was wondering if you guys had any options to suggest. System voltage is 24V. We are looking for a motor that satisfies the following requirements:

Voltage
DC: Any
AC: ~120V to ~240V (60Hz)
Wattage: ~1500W+
RPM: ~2600RPM+
Torque: Variable
Power requirement Equation:
P (Watts) = (Torque(N*m)*RPM)/9.548

We would prefer DC motors that meet the requirement but could work with the AC motor options.

Seems like our current options have been mostly 360V and 400V in very odd frequencies which require vfd's. Makes the whole setup way to complicate and expensive for a lawn mower.
