Powering an FRC-like system from a wall outlet

[kitare102]

We're building a simple linear motion mechanism that we'd like to be able to plug into a wall to use. I don't have much experience with electric systems, so I was wondering what might be a good way to go about that. The requirements we have are listed below:

1) Powering a mini-CIM with amperage needs consistent with moving a load of about 20 lbs along a horizontal track at ~20in/sec (25:1 Versaplanetary reduction) with little friction.

2) Using a Spark motor controller

3) Needs to plug into a standard American wall outlet

Thanks!
