Can this motor be set up as a variable speed motor? I need to be able to reduce the shaft speed in infinite increments.

No this is not speed controllable, most single phase motors are not speed controllable as they have an internal start switch that is governed by the motor speed, so you can't slow it down or you will burn it up.

No see my previous answer. Also the other answer "Get a variable potentiometer". If you use that on my motor it will burn up and it will not be warranty. People are answering questions that do not understand how a single phase motor works that has an internal start switch.
2059086
Yes. Get a variable potentiometer, a dial equipped piece of equipment that will vary the voltage so you can slow the motor to whatever speed you want.

Just make sure the controller can carry the load, and I wouldn't run it any slower than 75-80 rpm's

My recommendation would be a variable power drill either corded or cordless that you can put a hose clamp on to vary the speed. They have a much greater range of variance without damage to the motor.

It is continuously variable within two speed ranges. It's a great drill. I've had no problems.

Sorry Mike, but the unit has been installed for several years and I have no way to gather the information that you're asking for. However, I bought the unit as a replacement to another motor, per some spec recommendations. Even thought the motors were different,including the length of the shaft, the mount brackets allowed me to adjust the unit until it fit in the power vent. I took a gamble on this working and was pleasantly surprised that it did.

Yes, variable trigger with 2 speed gear setting. I love this drill and have used heavily with no issues. My brother has purchased Bosch drills and they are nice but these in my opinion are better. He also bought a new Dewalt one and it doesn't have a variable trigger and does not compare in quality.

Yes, it can do variable speed. It's a brushed DC motor, so varying the current will vary the speed, & reversing the polarity will reverse the direction of rotation. One can use a traditional analog current controller, or a PWM current controller, which will be more efficient. - bc for AnaV

Yes it is variable speed. There is a dial on the tool that allows you to choose between 1-6, I believe. (l don't have it in front of me) If memory serves, I believe the dial is on the handle near the cord outlet of the tool.

Yes it is variable speed. And I have a 120 volt saw plugged into mine. It works fine with that. I would imagine that it would work with anything with a standard US plug. Best check with your particular machine first though.

No, but it can be done easily enough. There is ample room inside to put a battery and an electric motor. You will have to make your own shaft, and gear it to the speed you want.

Thank you for your question. The 1380 SLIM is not variable speed. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499)

Not sure....I don't like using variable on fan motors...it tends to give them a short life span....the two speeds are adequate, however I always have it set to high speed.

Absolutely "NO" this is a "gear motor" The motor speed is reduced by a ratio of maybe about 50:1 (they don't say in the specs) The output torque is multiplied by about this ratio. And going the other way, that is turning the shaft to spin the motor, the torque is reduced by about 50 times. This means you'd need so much force to turn the shaft that you'd strip the gears of tear the shaft off before the motor would turn. This is NOT just a motor, it is a motor with an attached gearbox.

Yes. It is just a momentary on off switch. It has no effect on the variable speed of the trolling motor.

yes you can i got a motor like the one above it will work fine with any position horizone vertical side way or up side down try it out i guess it alway work nomatter what way you want to put it ... that correct ..

Yes, speed is variable on this model. There is a rotary switch on the handle where your thumb naturally rests that is used to vary the rpm.

This model is not variable speed but there are 2 speeds selectable via a switch on the top of the unit. It has High and Low speeds, 600rpm and 200rpm, respectively.

I would use a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) instead... to regulate the rpm of the motor. Here is an excellent video detailing what you need to do install/setup a VFD to an AC Motor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23lwqq9uGg4
