Need DC motor having high holding torque

harshrajs7313

Hello Mates,

I m making my project on Wireless robotic arm using microcontroller. I need DC Geared Motor with following specifications:

1) low RPM.
2) High Starting torque.
3) High Holding torque.

Can any1 please help me in selecting motor ??

Sounds to me like you need a worm drive on a standard small DC motor. Worm drives 'gear down' dramatically and are not too efficient so the holding torque is very good (due to the friction). A small motor needs to rev high, so a >=10:1 reduction would be quite handy. I should think.

look for hobbyist sites that's where the creativity is.

and search on terms like 'robotic supplies'

surely there's somebody similar in your part of the world..
