  At that low power level, it is probably a 1-phase hysteresis type motor and the only control method would be by varying the frequency input to it. You might be able to get a small range of control but not likely much more than down to 50% speed.
  
  In small sizes, one of the DC technologies will be easier to work with.
  
  Any more details on what you're going to use it in?
  
  Cheers,

  Thanks Tom,
  I was going to use it to rotate a small radar dish for simulation. I modified a servo for continuous rotation. It is controllable and works nicely.
