Hi Everyone, I'm building a little robot, I have no experience in doing it... I'm stumbling to get the right parts, ask Amazon.
I need a 3 motors that are able to move a 100 kg of load.
Can you please give me a few suggestions for:
A good controller board for Arduino, preference for a easy to use one
A few DC motors with a great amount of torque
Here is a 3D idea that of what I'm trying to do.
Any Arduino can control a couple of motors. But you need to define your project more completely, as you will need some sensors, and settle details like how fast you want the robot to move, and how steep a hill it must climb.
Some excellent tutorials describing the basic motor power and torque calculations for rovers can be found here: http://www.societyofrobots.com/
Hi Thank you for your response, let's assume that it will turn in the flat, I'm having a hard time to determine the basic, So I will deal with a part at the time. This time I'm focusing on the motors. I bought around 10 different motors and they are extremely weak.
So here is my ideia Once I learned the motors I will get the next step.
So let's assume that the cart Will run in a flat surface carring a 100 Kilos at 2 mph.
What motors would you advise me to use?
Basic fact: almost any motor of any type can move 100kg.
What you need to determine is the torque required, and the speed of movement.
From that you’ll choose a mechanism and gearing - then the motor/shaft speed.
run in a flat surface carring a 100 Kilos at 2 mph
Put that information into the motor calculator on the robot site I linked to determine the torque and power required. Choose a motor with more torque and power than required.
Thanks
You will probably need to consider axle bearings for heavy loads. You might repurpose large gear motors for a lot of power. Below is a large geared motor I got back in the day for $50 with the idea of making a very large servo. Also using things like used large children's ride on toys can save cost and time.
