Selecting Motor For Project

Other Hardware Motors, Mechanics, Power and CNC
1

Hello,

I have never used a motor in an Arduino project before. I am looking for some guidance for the type of motor and driver/esc I should be selecting for my project.

Here is a list of requirements.

  1. Motor must be able to rotate in the range of 500-2000 RPM.
  2. No high torque values needed (almost zero).
  3. Can maintain a determined RPM for minumum of 5 seconds.
  4. No specific voltage needed.

From my internet research...I think could be using a 930 KV DC brushless motor for a quadcopter. However their rotation speeds operate much higher at around 7000 RPM+. Will this be a problem? Or can I simply use lower voltage?

I could reduce the KV but the price increases and so does the torque which is not required.

Any reccomendations or input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It will be much easier to help if you tell us what the project is.

You need to determine the actual torque you require - "almost zero" is meaningless.

  1. Can maintain a determined RPM for minumum of 5 seconds.

How accurately? Varying load? In one direction only?

  1. No specific voltage needed.

10kV is OK then? Obviously not, please state your requirement, there must be a maximum voltage you'd prefer to deal with.
