    You could try an AC servo motor. Like this:

    You can't run these with a VFD - you'd have to get a servomotor drive and a power supply for the drive. It could get really complicated, but it could be an interesting way to go. I use a Yaskawa AC servo motor with an AMC brushless drive and a DC power supply to power a hand held spindle sander I made, and it works pretty well.

    .
    The problem with Fanuc motors is they have a proprietary commutation method, there is a conversion board that is made by one poster here, I actually used one for a spindle, but changed the encoder that used a standard type of commutation.
