Thanks so much karthik. This will help a lot of us.

you are a genius! Thank you so much!

I noticed the Fisher Price motor peak power is 407W, while the motor with a gearbox is 90W peak power. I cannot imagine how bad a gearbox it would take to reduce the power from 407W to 90W.

I know there has been some confusion regarding part numbers and spec sheets, so that might be the reason. Any clarification will be great!

I can't do it, or it'd have been done already -- but, can someone move this thread to the Motors forum and sticky it to the top?

The F-P with the gearbox is obviously wrong.

The Data on the Taigene is strange for 2 reasons: #1 double data, which one is right. #2 it is at 10.5V

I suppose this is from a Delphi spec -- the motor is used solely by Delphi on Power Sliding Door or Power Sliding Door applications. The range is the way we tend to spec things in the auto world and the 10.5V is the voltage that this application happened to want the data shown...

It is easy enough to convert the data to 12V, but the range is more problematic.

I will see if I can get someone (probably Artur Ostrowski who works at Delphi with me but actual helps design team #469's robots -- Chief Delphi can't get all the good robot designers in our building ;-) to pull the print or perhaps even see if they have some dyno data on this motor next week some time.

One more thing:
There are a lot of notes that talk about the 407W being a scary number for that small motor. Find these notes and read them before you decide to actually try to get that much power out of those little beauties.

The two sets of Taigene data are for clockwise and counterclockwise operation as is labelled ("cw" and "ccw")

[Paul Copioli]

The Globe motor data is also wrong. The gear ratio is misplaced. I think the torque data is for the motor only. I will track it down.

The Van Door motor has advanced timing in the CW direction, hence the double specs. Also, to me the specs for the Fisher Price motor with gearbox seem to be taken at 6V, while the motor without gearbox are taken at 12V.

[Joshua May]

Are there any updates for the correct motor information yet?

[Nuttyman54]

Anyone have the power curves or a spreadsheet of motor specs for this year's motors?

As I said earlier, with the power of the FP being roughly 1/4 with the gearbox of the power without the gearbox, and the stall current about 1/2 with the gearbox I feel it is safe to assume that the w/ gearbox specs were taken at 6V, the motor's intended voltage.

Can anyone help with a question related to the "Intro to Motors" [Heinzmann & Mikus] presentation posted on the 2005 Kick Off Workshop List? Near the end they list a "simple strategy" of assuming a higher motor resistance to calculate a new power curve. They then say to "operate at half the new peak power". I'm wondering if it was supposed to say "... half the new peak torque". Half of the already greatly reduced power seems REALLY low.

Thanks!

Really great job!

Unfortunately, when I discovered this, our robot was almost done...

[Nuttyman54]

Sorry, I didn't explain myself. I needed the CORRECT power curves for the Jideco, seeing as the ones FIRST gave us for it is incorrect. I have double checked and also confirmed with Ken Stafford, an ME Teacher at WPI and mentor of team #190.
