Hi there!
I’m looking for some help to identify the right motor for our application…
We build indoor mini-golf courses, and we’re looking to build some rotating props including a carousel, windmill, and roulette wheel.
I’m looking for a motor that can be fitted with a standard rubber wheel and positioned on the flat edge (usually the underside) of the prop to drive it. We’ve prototyped this well with a 12V DC motor and a speed controller, but I worry that the motor will degrade or fail because it’s designed for high speed rather than low speed/torque.
I’m hoping somebody here might be able to suggest an appropriate motor that will work well at low speeds and not stall while torqued up a bit?
All thoughts and suggestions welcome!
Many thanks in advance,
Joe
