Re: Globe Motor Durability Versus RS-545
We have burned up at least one of each. Our intake roller was prone to jamming, and we burned up an RS545 in practice. After that, we put a speed sensor on the roller, and some code that would automatically reverse the roller in the event of a jam. Our shooter hood is driven by a Globe. The pot came unplugged, and the software was trying to drive the hood to a certain value, no one noticed, and after several minutes, a plume of smoke signaled the death of the Globe.
Both failures were the result of stalling the motor for an extended period. The Globe lasted much longer than the RS545.
