BRINGSMART 12V 160rpm DC Worm Gear Motor 10kg.cm Self-Locking Engine Reversed Mini Turbine Geared Motor for DIY Robot Rotating Table Door Lock Curtain Machine (12V 160rpm)

Perfect motor for special project.

Smooth and strong motor. More torque than I need for steering a trolling motor, but just the right speed (44 rpm). I added a hall potentiometer, 3D printed gears, microcontroller, and H bridge driver making it the perfect steering servo for my boat.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve seen others who have been interested in motorizing their Coolaroo Roller Shades. Well, I wanted that to so I figured out a ‘fairly’ easy way to do it. I’ve included a picture of the configuration and a video of the movement. The parts are: 12v 80rpm Reversing Motor B07F8S57JT , 8mm Flange Coupling B0822425TT , Motor Mounting Bracket B073NZ81M9 , 12V Momentary Rocker Switch (DPDT) Reverse Polarity B0885W19KL , and a 12v ~10amp Power Supply. It will take some playing around to get it all put together, but getting the right pieces was the hardest part. I didn’t play around with trying to get a controller that would have stopping points. Just one more thing to break. So, with this it’s manual stopping points controlled by removing your finger from the switch.I mounted my configuration to a backing board. This allowed me to get it all setup before mounting it. The motor end has to be elevated a little bit to get the roller perpendicular to the backing board. The non-motor end is just the clip-in end that comes with the Coolaroo blind.Take the black plastic end off of the blind that will be attached to the motor end. Attach the flange coupling to that end. I had to make some modifications to the interior of the tube to make room for the small nuts and screw ends I used to attach the coupling. Figure out where the motor needs to be mounted. Once the motor is mounted you can slide on the coupling end on to the motor, lock it in place and snap the other end into the clip-in Coolaroo end.Search for “reverse polarity wiring diagram” in order to see how to wire the switch. For my testing and video I used a weak (1.5 amp) power supply. Using a 5-10amp supply should provide a little more umph. I experimented with a 6’ blind. I don’t believe the motor I used would handle anything bigger. It just wouldn’t have enough torque.Mine will be hung on the outside of the window. I’ll need to get wires into the house and figure out where I want the switch. I’m thinking of just embedding it in the molding on the inside of the window.__________Up for 2 years and working well.

Works great, only a slight hum. More noisy than a tape recorder motor, less noisy than just about any gear motor. Lots of torque.

My husband bought this for a mechanical duck. He likes that it's quiet and has a strong pull for this decoy set up.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good reviews, reasonable price, good selection of models within line.Functionality:I owe the manufacturer an apology. In selecting the desired motor speed (RPM) I tried several models. I thought they sent the wrong speed but it was my error, I returned the wrong unit. I think the 470 rpm version will be perfect for my project, I will edit as things progress.

Was charged back for a return that they say wasn't sent back. It absolutely was. I had 3 of their motors within a very short time and all 3 failed. Not very good service. Very disappointing

Good torque and good power capability for moving/driving heavier loads. The only drawback I've found is that the main gears are brass and not steel, so under heavy loads they do wear out and shred. Guess that was the intention, in any case these work great, easy to mount and provide solid performance.
