Re: Motor RS775 help

I would strongly recommend that you consider using a window motor for this type of application, if you have one available. It has an integrated gearbox that produces a usable amount of torque, and it's a very durable motor that won't be easily damaged through stalling (it's designed to stall, in fact).

If you use a rs775 motor for this I think you'll have some problems. The bar is either going to rotate extraordinarily fast or motor will be stalled and burn up in about the same amount of time. In either case it will draw a great deal of current without any gearing.

I agree - I just assumed you are using all your window motors for some reason.

Re: Motor RS775 help

We DO have a window motor, this seems like a much better way. Thank you all for your responses.
