Thanks Scott. Do you know what voltage/amperage the motor runs on?

there is no "easy way" to get it to run without specific VR 2-phase control
software.

an old EMB motor in my work. The only identification it has on it besides the
EMB logo is "PP1-09" on the gearbox. I would think it is the VR24 motor
described on the website but it looks sort of different than the mechanical
schematic. It has a small hp HEDS-5640 encoder on the gear box side and 8 poles
on the motor side. Does each of these poles correspond to one tooth in the
stator? Or perhaps each pair of poles corresponds to a stator tooth? I'm just
trying to figure out how this motor is 2-phase. Furthermore, I'm trying to rig
up the motor to run on a dynamometer but I can't seem to get the shaft to rotate
at all. Anyone know where I can find an easily integrated controller/inverter? I
would appreciate any ideas or knowledge about this motor that is not already on
electricmotorbike.org
