Found a new brushless motor!

That will swing your scoring arm!

It might be just a tiny bit big :wink:

This is an axial flux brushless permanent magnet motor serving as a traction drive for an elevator. Things that look like this can deliver 3 to 28 hp at 60 to 140 RPM. Dual spring set brakes rated at 125% of load. Rolling numbers around, it might deliver 1,000 ft pounds of torque. No gears!

The ACPM 540 seems very similar:

Interesting IEEE paper on these motors:

Itā€™s a Nidec! I donā€™t understand why Nidec picked the motor they did for FRC. They do make brushless motors that would have been a much better fit for FRC. For example, this one (Automotive ABS | NIDEC CORPORATION) appears to have specs (400W, 3.3Nm of stall torque, 580g) that are not that dissimilar to a NEO. The problem may have been they didnā€™t want to put in the NRE to develop a FRC-friendly motor controller at those power levels?

Will this be enough to spin the color wheel?

Maybe a bit on the heavy side ā€¦

shoutouts to johnson electric for returning as a supplier to donate a motor specifically to solve a challenge no one liked in a game no one played in tandem with a sensor that doesnā€™t work and then disappearing again

Itā€™s the appearance, yes.

That said, I take exception to the assertion that no one played the 2020 gameā€¦But support the ā€œchallenge no one likedā€ statement.
