I think you can hook these up to 120v vibrators as well.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I feel like this is the second woodworking comment in here so far.
Boy, I hope so. Because the alternative interpretation sounds painful.
It’s PERFECT for wired Magic Wands
Also useful if your (woodworking) router needs to run slower.
I’ll have to look for a different solution for rate-limiting my internet then.
You'll need a digital unit for that.
The one pictured is analog.
Oh, so it’ll work on my analog internet connection? Great!
Or if you want to make your wired Magic Wand adjustable!
Might not be good for it long term, I've heard.
That's correct. Fan motors rely on the fan to cool themselves. At lower speeds they suffer from increased thermal degradation of the winding insulation.
Put a fan on your fan
I feel like this gif is flipped horizontally
Just look at it from the other side of your phone.
Perfect!
I was wondering what effect I could have on the fan. Any links you recommend to find out more about this?
There still a significant amount of air moving through it, so I wonder if I’m still good.
Most likely it will just shorten the lifespan of your motor. It'll last 6 years instead of 9. Not that big a deal. When it goes, it'll be time for you to get a silent one.
These things are usually made with a fair amount of safety margin. It's not like you're operating under harsh conditions. The only thing is the 24/7 operation. But if it didn't get too hot around (long hours above 110 F), it shouldn't be too bad.
Very rarely above 100°F here. But almost always high humidity. I’ve run it around the clock for six months of the year for a decade. If it dies from this, I’ll be a bit bummed but I’ve definitely got my money’s worth.
As someone who also runs a fan 24/7 during certain times of year: You might want to open it up and check the wiring.
One model I had once started overheating from gunk in the almost open wheelbearing. The power cable was routed on top of, and pressed against the metal motor casing and it started melting.
Korean fan death.
