    Hi guys, I‘m totally new to the topic.
    I‘m following a project with the following Motor Specs:
    Simukit
    440W
    1:60
    3000rpm
    24V

    Unfortunately, the Simutkit Webside is offline for a while. Can you recommend a similiar motor and probanly a vendor shipping to Germany?
    I‘m searching since days now and found no adequate motor…

    Thank you guys.

    There may be second hand powered wheelchair motors available locally, if you hunt around.

    You could order from China.

    I know you can cut the ground and its ok.One last question. I'm waiting for the wipers to arrive and I already have all the other things. Where does the power supply get its power from? I see the connections in all the guides, but I haven't figured out where the power supply gets its power from.

    Where are you located in the world?

    You will need a power plug and cord for whatever applies in your part of the world.

    That gets wired into the PSU, which changes whatever the voltage is that is used for appliances in your part of the world to 12v.

    In that pic above, live and neutral appear to be connected the wrong way round - at least here in the UK live is brown, netural is blue. Not sure if it matters for that PSU.
