Assuming you're looking for something moderately priced and don't need
a low inertia, high performance motor, look at MCG and the Panasonic A
Series.

Bodine and Oriental Motor have a few choices as well, but I don't
believe anything as large as what you're looking for.

Do you need an encoder, or just the commutation feedback?



Bodine tops out about 1/2Hp.

Commutation? Does this apply to brushless?
