cant find motor for my lamp

Post by bouncer » 29 Aug 2014, 20:09

i bought a motor for my remote controlled lamp(make unknown)I made a few modifications and fitted the motor but it wouldn't turn so I took it out and tried it and it spun but as soon as I put it back in it would not turn,it must be when it is under pressure,so got to try something else. :x :x anyone got any ideas.

Your motor is not producing enough torque.
You either need a more powerful motor or one of the same size that spins more slowly (lower speed = more torque)
