    Secondhand electric wheelchair motors may be a better local option, if you can find some, they are quite powerful.

    You should really clarify what design 2DOF you plan on building, you can then use SimCalc to work out motor specs to drive that design at a desired performance level: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...e-linear-speed-and-forces-of-your-design.270/

    A shoulder mount seat shaker design has lots of inherent design leverage and can be driven with smaller motors, a compact design and heavier full frame knee mount designs often need a lot more torque from motors to drive them properly.

    That is a compact design you are planning so you will want good torque, something like Jazzy wheelchair motors or like the specs of model# 15 in this list:

    Thank you very much for this list.

    So I need around 50 rpm. and 300w power.
    I made some research but very difficult to find this things.

    Do you know where I can purchase this kind of motors?
    I want to spend if possible 300USD for two motors.

    Regards, Nils

    If you look around as per earlier advice Jazzy wheelchair motors on the likes of Ebay will probably be the cheapest and best local option: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...oosing-12v-motors-for-2dof.17308/#post-231471

    I've ordered two 250W 75rpm wheelchair motors from a Cina manufacturer.
    150 Euros including shipment and taxes, don't know what to expect for customs fees though
