I'd like to get a 2HP motor for this project. I believe the motor has to have a C-face, 56 Frame (and 3 Phase of course). I also seem to recall reading something about the importance of shaft length. Can someone recommend a specific motor that's known to work well? I'd prefer a Leeson motor since I have several already. However, I'm open. Thanks in advance.

56c, 3Ph, 220v, TEFC...
I believe my shaft length is around 2" maybe 2-1/8"? 2-1/2"-3" or more would be better.. I have one of the Elektrimax motors Wayne Coe sells... It just barely grabs the shaft with the set screw on the drive wheel. If it was longer, it would make a lot of the alignment work on the idler and tracking wheels easier.

I was thinking about this motor: http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/m...e-motors/motor-56-tefc-3ph-1725rpm-c6t17fc9hh. The picture is wrong...it's a rolled steel cage, not cast. But the 1 7/8 shaft has me a little concerned.

This is the motor I bought few weeks ago. As you can see from the spec sheet itcalso has a shaft under 2".
I think that's pretty common. It works. It'd be better longer, but not sure you can get longer easily?
