AI Thread Summary
To reduce the RPM of a 12V, 0.66A D.C. motor from 60 to 30, it's essential to first determine if the motor can handle voltage control. If the motor supports this, varying the voltage can effectively lower the RPM. Alternatively, using gears can also achieve the desired speed reduction while maintaining torque. Implementing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) on the 12V supply is another effective method to control speed without sacrificing torque. Exploring options like PWM controllers available on eBay can provide practical solutions for this adjustment.

I have a 12V, 066A D.C motor, and 60 RPM. Want to reduce the RPM (60 to 30.
What should I need to do?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
The electric motor may, or may not, allow you to control the speed by controlling the volts supplied. Some motors allow this, some do not. You will have to investigate the nature of your electric motor to determine this. Then if the motor does allow this, can you supply different voltages?

If not, then could you use gears?
 
If he still wants good torque at half-speed, he would need to use PWM on his 12V supply, no?

yup, that or gearing will be the 2 successful ways

here's some good examples from eBay ...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
