Subject: [alt-beam] Re: BG Micro motor question
The 200:1 will work. It's actualy a little strong (you might want to use
springy legs to keep from stripping the gears)
50 RPMs is great, less than 40, pretty strong, more than 60, probably
not strong enough for a walker. Thay'll probably work, but you need to
watch that they don't jam.
BG Micro are 48 and my Escaps are 54 (at 6 volts)
These are estimates, but they seem to fit my motors.
