Backdrive disable for the van door motors?
Posted by Brandon Heller at 2/18/2001 7:46 PM EST


Student on team #449, Blair Blazers, from Montgomery Blair High School and NASA Goddard, Sigma Space.



My team is trying to use two van door motors to lift a ball-grabbing arm. The problem is that when we cut the power to the motors, the arms come back down. Does anyone know how to disable backdriving? We think it may have to do with the torx screw on the top of the motor, but we're not sure.

Can anyone help us out?

Thanks!
