    Hi Devin im no expert but i think you will have trouble with this type of motor mainly i belive becuse they backdrive when the poweris off .... in a nut shell any weight on the motor shaft will cause it to free wheel .. i think and dont quote me on this your going to need a motor of some sort which has whats called Worm and Pinion gearing ( these dont back drive easily and tend to hold their postion unless a heavier weight that the motor gearbox can handle is applied ) just my thoughts but the guys here will have the answers i have 8 of these motors just waiting for an application :yes:

    Hi Back again Funnily enough i was looking at that Motor also for my 2DOF Motion Cockpit it would seem that because this motor is i belive Spur Gears it would be ok for the seat Type Sim ( it still Back Drive but not as freely ) But for my Heavyer Sim i need Something with Worm Gears :-( Still Looking though ....by the way thats only my opinion other guys more informed will be able to correct me if im wrong ..good strong motor and still available so may be worth a closer look :) were you looking at oriental motors website or Technobots ?

    Hi Devin
    Raceray posted a thread on marketplace some time ago.
    About cheap servo's,they coud do the job,i think
    Thanos posted a ballscrew thread some e ago.
    there you can do your mad.
    you need rpm to get speed.
    These motors costs 55,00 euro new included encoder ,continius holding torque 0,22nm =+/- 20kg
    regards AD

    I have the linear actuator you mentioned in another post it looks to be working out nicely. I am now looking for a motor to test the actuator. I just want to make sure it works with Tronicgr's stuff. (amps etc.) I have the math on the rpms needed to get at least 300mm. Those motors that Raceray posted were nice, I will keep an eye out for something similar.

    Hi,

    soory for the late response. Was busy with new website :D
    The motor looks great. Nice price and 420W at 2.8Nm.

    With the AMC and Thanos new 150A h-bridge that should work. :cheers:

    Hi guys

    what do you think about wheelchair motors and gearboxes? I think these could be great for a big guy like me (140kgs)
