I have an idea for a turntable, but since it would be a DIY, I'm looking to save on expenses as much as possible. I ended up on a China-based company, they seem to have economical prices tagged to their products. Long story short, I got interested in one of their electric motors and wondering if this motor (BL43 Motor) has power more than enough for the purpose it will be used for.
Would this motor, or any kind of motor with the same specs, be good for such purposes? 😕
Your thoughts on this are much appreciated!

My Clearaudio Concept has max startup power draw of 1.5W, and normal operation draws .5W. The platter is not very heavy, but it is solid 1" plastic, heavier than molded consumer aluminum platter. I power it with a regulated linear frame PS 12V .5A. I think it is a brushed DC motor, not sure.

Your Clearaudio concept sounds (no pun intended) amazing and is serving you pretty well. Anyway, thanks for those links. I will be checking those out later! 🙂
I am going to guess that different turntable designs have different amounts of friction, have different moments of inertia and users have different ideas about how quickly a turntable should spin up and stabilise. Given that we don't know what the OP is intending in each of these areas, his question is "How long a piece of string do I need, given that I have not told you what I want the string for?".
