Question For Power Supply Requirement
Hey guys, I am looking into how to build a bigger servo actuator at the moment...
Its nothing like a full blown project at the moment, I am just trying out different methods to drive a bigger sized robot arm!
So one thing I am looking into is using a DC Motor and encoder to get the thing done!
So I found out that finding the right Power Supply is not that easy...
So the motor that I want to use is a the following Tarot 4008 MT 330kv TL2955 Brushless Multicopter Motor 6S 85g TL2955,
it can be driven by 6 Lipo batteries, but I would rather use a Power Supply...
Any recommendations?
Mean well
Its only 14 amps, but you prolly can find bigger ones from them. This is only $32 USD
Here is a 40 amp PSU:

I guess testing is the only true option?
I guess I will just have to make sure, it supplys lots of Amps and has constant current limiting, to even get the motors started!!
Hope I will not waste money on an insufficient psup!!
To check amps using multimeter:
Did you ever work with brushless motors? Because the delivery will take so long I was thinking I could do a test run with another psup..
But that one got only 15V, do you think I can do some testing or will it terribly fail to power the motor?
And did you ever do some testing with an Odrive?
Lets see if I can get them working for a robotic application...
I will keep my progress posted!!
Let us know how your testing goes. Again the thing I like is the ability to have compliant joints..something you don’t get with a gear motor.
