Re: Motor RS775 help

Perhaps a servo would fit your needs?

if the BB775 only needs to perform a limited rotation - You could try the following:

(Again, this is without actually seeing or really understanding your system)

cut a slot in a piece of aluminum bar, then drill a hole at the end of the slot that is slightly smaller that the output shaft diameter of the motor.

using a bolt, you can fasten the slot together, tightning the grip on the motor shaft.

using a very small pulse you could connect the bar to something and use it actuate stuff.

Torque will probably be very low, and speeds will be very high! be careful and take full precautions.
