I have a motor out of a golf cart. The brushes do not angle straight in at 90-degrees, with the commutator. I do not have it where I can put a load on and run it, but I cannot tell a difference by listening to it running unloaded. Speed, noise, and Amps appear to be the same either direction...
I have done some checking, not much, but the prices I have come up with so far are higher than I want to go. Who knows, that may be where I end up, but at this point I am still looking for a bargin. After all, this started out to be just a whim, and a hobby.
SteveHuck and all: Steve I like your idea of using a golf cart motor. I have been looking for one for several months, and just haven’t been able to come up with what I want yet. That was my original idea. Then I started looking at alternative possibilities. Starter motors, I can get all I...
Working on a 20 foot sternwheeler. The motor will be driving the paddle wheel. Thats the reason I need varible speed, and reverse. From a distance she will appear to be an old time sternwheeler. Thinking about putting one on each side. When running would like to have a little over one...
Thanks for the info, however my guess is that it is 110 volt, 60 Hz. What I am looking for needs to be DC (Batery) and about 24 volt. I need speed control.
Yes I realize it cannot be run continuous at full power, thus the concern about PWM. I have seen them used in commercial applications and last for years and they are a very solid motor thus used. They are built for max. load, and when used under less demanding loads, the bearings and brushes...
IS THIS AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION FOR THIS FORUM? Do you have information, experience, or suggestions regarding using starter motors from trucks and cars under continuous operating conditions? My hopes are to use a low cost motor to power my boat. My question is how much can I load a motor...
