12V dc gear reduction motor 95 degree travel
12 VOLT DC GEARMOTOR WITH 95 DEGREES OF TRAVEL !!!
THIS GEARMOTOR OPERATES AT A NOMINAL 12 VOLTS DC. IT WILL START AT 6 VOLTS, AND WILL TAKE 15 VOLTS, BUT I'M SURE IT WAS DESIGNED FOR 9-12 VOLT OPERATION. THIS HUB DIAMETER IS .300 INCHES.
THE INTERESTING FEATURE OF THIS MOTOR IS THE TRAVEL IS LIMITED TO ABOUT 95 DEGREES, THEN IT STOPS. (THE MOTOR CONTINUES TO TRY TO TURN, BUT THE GEARBOX WON'T LET IT). THE APPLIED POWER THEN HAS TO BE REVERSED TO ALLOW THE SHAFT TO ROTATE 95 DEGREES IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.
I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THESE FROM AMERICAN SCIENCE AND SURPLUS YEARS AGO FOR A PROJECT I NEVER FINISHED. IT APPEARS THESE WERE DESIGNED FOR A DISPLAY OF SOME SORT (LIKE A FLAG WAIVER), BUT IT IS POSSIBLE TO TAKE THESE APART AND REMOVE SOME OF THE GEARING, ALLOWING IT TO ROTATE NORMALLY AT A HIGHER RPM. I DID THIS TO SEVERAL OF THESE WITH MINIMAL EFFORT AND GREAT RESULTS.
THESE ARE A VERY WELL MADE, LOW RPM GEARMOTOR SET-UP. AT 12 VOLTS, IT TAKES 16 SECONDS TO ROTATE THE 95 DEGREES AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE.
THANKS FOR LOOKING. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS.
