My build apparently requires a geared dc motor.
My target rpm is 30 rpm, but need a range from 15 to 60.
I noticed a geared motor on the website.
Lynxmotion 12V 80 rpm 47.77oz-in 1:26.9 Brushed DC Gear Motor w/ Encoder
Product Code : RB-Wtc-20
by Lynxmotion
seems like the one I would need BUT, I have been told that BRUSHLESS motors are much better.
Is there a “BRUSHLESS” equivalent? or is there reasons to go with a brushed?
I will be implementing a speed controller since the rpm’s need to be controlled to output at any desired settings of rpm between 15 and 60.
I prefer something like an analog dial - i think they are called a potentiometer.
I want to keep it simple to start, then maybe do the arduino stuff later. - what do you recommend? I’m not very comfortable with the circuit boards stuff at this time, but if simple enough for a learner/beginner - then I’ll do it.
I’ve also been told that the dc speed controllers need to be “brushed” or “brushless” specific. (PWM).
The size, power consumption/efficiency, weight etc is not an issue. Quality is paramount.
It would be nice to just be able to purchase a pre-assembled dc speed controller, so then it’s pretty much just plug and play.
your help will be appreciated.
