Jamie, what info is included on the motor's data plate/label? Is there a
capacitance included, with a low value of 25uF or less?

I think you may have been looking at a PSC permanent split capacitor motor..
although I haven't seen any rated at 180V. Most 3-wire motors are PSC types.

BTW, PSC motors aren't defined or referred to as 2-phase motors.
They may be specified for some particular rating as single-direction motors,
but they are reversible, in fact, fast stopping/reversing is one of the
features of PSC motors.
The gearheads, and especially the right-angle gearheads with encoders
attached are very versatile.

Don't waste your breath. it's not worth the effort.

Knowing that you understand it should be enough..

And by the way, I was looking at a 3 wire motor today, 2 phases of 180
apart with CT to operate it (3 wire motor). It was attached to a gear box
and only ran one direction, but you could use it as a stepper (servo) or
full out run. Most likely some custom motor for an application.
