Globe Motor Supplier

[Jack Jones]

Does anyone know of a supplier for the Globe motor?

It's not listed in:
FRC_Parts_Supplier_Contacts (http://www2.usfirst.org/2004comp/2004_FRC_Kit_of_Parts_Supplier_Contacts.pdf)

We understand that it's from the transfer case of the Chevy 4X4. Dealer insists on selling the entire T-fer case @ $480. :(

Thanks in advance,

Jack

The Globe Motor is provided by the Globe Motor company, http://www.globe-motors.com/transfercaseactuators.html , thier distributors may be unwilling to sell this motor without the transfer-case, but I'm sure if you contact them directly they will be able to help you. Donating 1400 motors doesnt go unnoticed, so I am sure someone will be able to help you from there.

We understand that it's from the transfer case of the Chevy 4X4. Are you serious? I knew I made the right choice in buying my Ford. I wouldn't want that little motor shifting my T-case.

useless post. ;)

If anyone contacts the company and can order JUST the motor, tell us how much it cost. And if there is a minum order, our team *might* chip in and buy a couple.

Have request in to them. Will try to arrange mass buy, at a huge discount - of course. Will keep you all informed.

We have a few we could trade. They have not changed over the years and we usually use only one so we have several brand new.

Well, we're rookies - not much inventory to use as trade. How about some Laser Sintered parts (A model of your robot?), or a bit of water jet cutting?

Let's take it off forum - PM me please.

Globe motors are used to shift Ford automatic transmissions too!

Many thanks to Andy Brockway & Team #716 Norfolk, CT. :D We hope to return the favor and lend a hand to some rookies ourselves some day. {assuming we make it to the show this year == :confused:}
