Wind Turbine Build
How can I search which motor treadmills have? I need to know for a wind turbine project.?
I have a local store that is selling treadmills that came broken. All motors are guaranteed to work, it is just the stand, mat, or other items that are broken and costs too much to repair. I’m interested in these because I can get some treadmill motors really cheap to build wind turbines.
I have the name/models of the treadmills, so how can I search which motor they have without having to call/email the manufacturer? Is there a website for this?
Most tread mills as well as other equipment employs private labeled motors. These motors are manufactured by a motor manufacturer and have the treadmills manufacturer part number placed on them. This is done so that you have to pay the top dollar for a replacement motor from the treadmill company instead of getting one off the open market for a tenth of the price.
I doubt the manufacturer will even tell you much about these motors since the less you know about their motors the more likely you are to buy one from them and they make a handsome profit.
If you can get these treadmills cheap enough you can part them out and sell the parts on Ebay and make a handsome profit. You can have your motors for free!
