Motor problems
Hello,
We have an arm that weighs about 6 pounds that is mounted on two posts. It rotates on a rod that is about 4" from the end of the robot. That arm has a gear attached to it and a chain leading to a window motor. However once the arm gets past center it can't control the arm, and thus the arm comes "crashing," in a sense, down. The motor has a worm gear, yet it can't stop the motor momentum. Is there some motor that we can get that has a stronger worm gear? I will get the motor name and number once we get to school later today. It is a motor from a few years ago, with an 11mm shaft that turns into a screw end, if that helps any veterans.
