Hi All, I need to use a high torque geared motor for a paper shredder. The power will be supplied with a wall adapter (110V). However I am concerned that if the torque gets close to the max 1400 in-lb (1600 kg cm), then the current drawn would be too high.
Can you please give me a suggestion on what kind of power adapter (110 AC to 12 DC) I should use to extract the full range of torque without destroying anything? Will greatly appreciate. Thanks.
