Re: Synchronous Denso Motors

Our team LOVES the window motors. The biggest weakness of them is just the mounting, after that we really do enjoy using them. 3 of our past 4 robots have used 2 of them in pair directly attached to the same shaft and we have had no problems. Obviously you have to make sure that both the motors are running off the same type of controller as well as moving on the same signal (we have usually just used a Y pwm cable to make sure of this.) Yes the motors do have some variance in speed but when put on the same shaft they are close enough that it should be fine if you make sure all the electronics and programming are synced properly.
