Having given some thought to comments from @TheRiflesSpiral what do you guys think about this motor:
Doesn’t quite match the torque of the current 20 rpm motors since they rotate a bit faster, but it’s the best match I could find. Also quite a bit more expensive for a motor without an integrated encoder. Might not be worth it if bar is really going to have motors/kits available soon, but thought I’d share anyway.
I’d still need to find an encoder to go with it. If anyone has a source for those, please share.
On slightly different topic, has anyone considered using a more capable 24v motor such as this?
It would be so nice to have feed rates in the 100 ipm range, although I’m not sure how the whole system would feel with those increased speeds.
