Hello all,
I am getting ready to "retire" an overloaded Tailtwister
rotator with a "small" prop pitch motor (9,576:1 reduction
ratio) and was wondering about a couple of details in
regards to putting it in service.
I was thinking about putting a light coating of low-temp
grease on the gear surfaces inside the gear housing, as
I understand that it's not advisable to fill it with oil, due
to the motor being mounted in a vertical position. Is that
an advisable thing to do?
Also, I am planning on operating the motor on 24 volts
D.C. and was wondering how large of a DC power supply
will be needed. Does anyone know what the normal
current draw (in D.C. amps at 24 volts) would be for this
motor?
Thanks for any help!
