@Toymaker, @Doombot,

I have several of these motors that Toymaker sent me last year. I wont be using them. I did mod one of them but it's still just like new I think. I can send them to you free of charge just like Tony did for me. Let me know and I can get them to you next week.

@Dave I would be interested if Doombot isn't... Of course I would pay for shipping... Can you remind me what motors they are?

#27  

@Richard R They're Bosch worm gear motors with an internal potentiometer. If both Dave and Tony are sending me some I'd throw some out your way... Not literally of course!

Richard R, I can send you some Bosh servo motors directly email me your address to toymaker(dot)tony(at)gmail(dot)com

I use these motors extensively on the EZ:1 (and EZ:2) robots as they have plenty of torque and are virtually silent in operation and because they are worm driven they have no holding slippage and require no holding current.

On the MD5DOF arm above I use two for the shoulder their voltage is upped (from the main 12v battery) to 18v for the extra torque required. Another is used in the bicep and a further one is used in the wrist. They also work great for pan/tilt in the head. This arm can pick up a can of drink with no problems.
