Hi Mike, N6IMF
The EL and AZ motors of a G5500 rotator are 2 pole (P) squarrel cage AC
asynchronous motors because the stator is wound with 4 coils and each
couple of 2 coils is positioned 90 degrees with respect to the other couple
of 2 coils.
The RPM (revolutions per minute) of a asynchronous motor is given by the
following formula:
f x 60
RPM = ------------- - S
P
where:
f = value of the frequency in Hz of the supply AC power
60 = 60 seconds into a minute
P = number of poles of the motor
S = speed of gliding ( 7 % for small motors )
If you supply the motor with 24 volt 60 Hz as in USA than
60 x 60
RPM = -------------- = 1800 - 7% = 1674

I hope this helps.
