Re: Globe Motors

Gabe is correct in his description of the internals of the gearbox. That bronze bushing is the only support on the output side of the gearbox. By supporting the outboard side of the shaft, you will have two properly supported ends. This type of setup should handle pretty much any load you can throw at it.

I'm not sure I've heard of anyone stalling a Globe motor and burning it out. This motor has so much torque that it has basically ripped through our mechanical stops in the past. We always use limit switches/pots with these motors.

Good Luck,

BEN
