TL;DR Summary: I need help with calculating how much a motor will be able to pull.
Hi all, I am currently in my first year of engineering and we have a project which requires us to use motors to drive a 4kg max vehicle. I was planning on using the very common yellow DC motors which have arduino compatibility. However I am unsure of if it is powerful enough to pull this load. Below I have listed the specifications:
Operating Voltage
3V-12VDC
Maximum Torque
800g/cm max. @ 3V
Gear Ratio
1:48
Load Current
70mA (250mA max. @ 3V)
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could explain how to calculate the mass it will be able to hold and move.
