thermal cutoff protection on VanDoor Motor
Posted by Anton Abaya at 2/18/2001 2:44 PM EST


Coach on team #419, Rambots, from UMass Boston / BC High and NONE AT THE MOMENT! .



according to what i read to motors 101 in the white paper section of CD, they have it.

yesterday, i was playing around with the arm we have using the vandoor and i stalled it a several times to trip breakers and testing out the rigidity of the arm. eventually, after doing this over and over again, i started smelling something funny and the vandoor started smoking.

why? i thought the thermal protection thing would slow it down to a complete stop or soemthing?
