I am hoping to confirm that the “12V 775 DC Motor w/ High Speed & Big Torque - 4000 RPM” motor will be compatible with the “Metal Bracket for 36D Planetary Gear Motors” I figured because they are both made by E-S motor that they would work together but I wanted to confirm before purchasing. I also plan on using 4 of these motors to drive a robot and was going to use an arduino Uno and the L293D Motor sheild attachement to control them. I do plan on buying a 12 volt battery pack and plugging that battery pack into the motor shield so that the motors can be powered off of the 12 Volt supply. Can anyone see a problem with my plan or could make recommendations as to what I should do, the goal is to educate unexperienced students so all the help I can get the better. Thanks!
I think these products are compatible. However, it is always safe to cross-check. I hope Mr @cbenson can confirm.
These?
You can see if the holes line up. It’s rare a manufacturer will create a mount for a DC motor without geardown since they can’t provide much torque at all. Almost all brackets are made to connect to gearing.
Regarding the motor controller, the motors above consume 1.5A (likely higher peak / startup). Ensure the motor controller(s) and battery you use can provide to total necessary current at peak.
@cbenson Thank you, I had not considered the Amp limit and it is more than the motor controller I had selected can handle. I appreciate you adding the links to the components I referenced; however, the motor controller is the limiting factor so I will go back and have to find different motors based on it. Again, thank you for your reply, you just saved me quite the headache!
