    Hi,

    I'm about to source all my equipment for my 3DOF simulator project
    with 24V DC motors and Worm gear reducer to output around 60 to 70Nm at 60Rpm with the good ratio

    [​IMG]

    what I can see a good reducer can be very expensive...

    I was looking into Alibaba and fund some of those:
    any of you have used them? pro/con is that quality is ok? I'm wondering about the weariness must likely


    thank you to give me you feedback

    Well those made in china dealer like Alibaba wont get any better after all....
    I've been dealing and ask for quote to different dealer for the same product motor/worm gear
    but none of them give me the same technical data or they got wrong

    not feel confident anymore
    do you still recommend them? if you have any luck in the past? I've heard to deal ONLY with dealer that have more than 3 years in business

    thanks

    I originally thought I was going to go that direction - but chose a much simpler/smaller design from Alibaba. So far the motors have been great. Here is my thread with the info: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/budget-steel-6dof-w-mm-arduino-chinese-12v-motors.9030/
