Hello everyone -
Would anyone share with me some reasons why a small 12v DC Brush Motor would work for awhile and then not?
I am experiencing some motors that when power is first applied or if they are stopped and then re-started, will appear to "seize" up. I can still physically rotate the motor shaft will no effort so I am assuming that the failure is not mechanical in nature (i.e.bearings). These motors are new and I am trying to diagnose the problem - but after bending back the housing tabs and removing the end cap, I am not sure what I am looking for.
I have ruled out the motor controller circuit since replacing the motor in the project solves the problem.
Any direction or insight is appreciated.
Thank you.
