Gear Input Motors System

AI Thread Summary

To effectively utilize two mini motors with a worm gear system, both motors should be connected to the same gear and rotate in parallel to achieve increased torque without sacrificing speed. This configuration allows the combined torque of the motors to be harnessed efficiently. The worm gear will then translate this torque into rotational motion. This setup is considered straightforward and effective for maximizing torque output. Implementing this design will enhance the performance of the system significantly.

Hi guys,

I have 2 mini motors and a set of worm gear.
I would like to know how to build a system that can make use of the torque from both motors at the same time so that I can double the torque without losing speed.

thank you

Hi nomisme,

The two motors should connect to the same gear and rotate in the same direction (parallel assembly). The gear should rotate the worm gear.

IMO I see no easier assembly with more torque.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
