I tried to measure the adaptor, it says 18V mostly.. Sometimes it doubles the current level..I choose 1.5V and it says 4V for example.
It has still been so HOT although i unplugged it 10-15 min. ago. So, we can say that adaptor is broken
I also measured my 9V rectangle battery and it says 8V.
Connected to the motor (that 6V pump) but the result is the same. Is it because too high to run it?
Sorry friends, i think my battery is also empty (but i don't know why multimeter says 8V).
A broken adaptor and emty battery, what a luck. And tomorrow is sunday.
Do you know any product to solve all this adaptor problem. Because i will have 4 pumps, should i use 4 different adaptors?
You don't set the amps for a motor. You use the proper voltage that the motor is rated for, and knowing how much amperes the motor is rated to require maximum, you use a power supply capable of more current.
The motor will only draw as much current as it is designed for. Use a 6V 1A motor on a 6V power supply rated to put out a max of 10A, the motor still only draws 1A.
I found the best price on ebay for the pumps. I am usually getting my parts from aliexpress.com.
There is also solenoid type pumps which i don't exactly know what is the difference between peristaltic and solenoids. I will also buy one and test in the future
A sort of lubricant for silicone would do the trick. Used the peristaltic pumps in my setup and had the same sort of problem. First disassembled the pump head and the tubing was jammed in between the rollers... When I fixed that the pump started to turn, but very slowly. Though the motor runs very fast when removed from the pump head... After injecting the pump head with a lubricant the motor ran at a nice speed
See if that works...
