    Can a 12 volt DC motor and PWM be used to power a dolly?

    Thanks Vk, I didn't even realize that the teeth could get stripped. Perhaps using the type of motor used in a scooter wired up to the PWM (if I can't find the entire scooter assembly).

    Can a 12 volt DC motor and PWM be used to power a dolly?

    That motor looks like it would probably work but I'm curious at what type of PWM I'd need. Do I have to match up the AMP's? Again I'm quite new to figuring out amps, volts etc. and don't want to mess anything up.

    Can a 12 volt DC motor and PWM be used to power a dolly?

    Hi there Vk, Thanks for the scooter suggestion. I did think of that as a solution and haven't totally ruled it out yet. The only problem is the price of those things. I think it'd be cheaper if I were to "part" it out and wire it all up that way.

    Can a 12 volt DC motor and PWM be used to power a dolly?

    Hello all. First off, I am a total newbie and need some help in getting my "project" up and running. Here goes, I'm trying to get a dolly (weighing around 50lbs. or so) to move at a fairly slow constant speed. I'm thinking my best option is to find a 12 volt DC motor along w/a speed control...
