Q: Is there a lot of noise generated from this?

Asked by: Memyself - 9/20/2016

A: Overall they are very quiet. They make a small "purring" type sound as they run.

Q: Plastic or metal gears?

Asked by: Dan - 10/19/2016

A: Hello, the current motors in the kit have plastic gears. These motors have held up well for us. The only caution is when assembling or adjusting your prop that you do not try to forcibly turn the output shaft or damage may occur.

Q: What is the maximum weight this motor can handle?

Asked by: Customer - 10/19/2018

A: Hello, the weight will depend on what sort of load you are talking about. If you are using it to turn or rotate and arm, head or something similar it can likely handle 2-3 pounds of a balanced and well supported load. If you are trying to actually lift a prop (like a Flying Crank Ghost) I would suggest using a wiper motor setup. If you would like to email us at [email protected] with your prop idea, we'll have a better idea whether or not this will be a good fit for your project. Thanks!

Asked by: Jay - 3/13/2018

A: Hello, this motor would not be suitable for a flying crank ghost rig. We would recommend using a wiper motor. Thanks, Ryan

Thanks!

Q: How heavy a thing can this motor turn 6 RPM Synchronous Gear Motor KIT

Asked by: jon - 10/13/2021

A: Hello, That would really depend on what you are turning and how it is mounted. Synchronous motors are not really well suited for heavy loads. I would say it can turn a head weighing several pounds and I have seen them move a skeleton torso as long as the load is well balanced. For anything over a few pounds or something like the torso of a life size prop, I'd opt for a wiper motor.
