    Hello,

    first and foremost great forum. Im planning a 2dof simple seat shaker. I already ordered arduino and testet simtools with an rc servo. works fine. now i want to convert it to larger motors, but im not sure if the ones i have in mind are working.

    PSU:

    12V 30A 360W PSU, maybe one from ebay for about 20-30€

    Does this combination work?

    I am presuming you mean the motor is to replace the RC servos on the model? Being 12V it should be fine for that, as is the MM.

    Yes of course replacing. Converting makes no sense :).
    Ok thanks for the reply. Im pretty new to electrotechnics, im coming from a system and web programming background.

    I was in doubt that the power of the motor isn't strong enough to move the seat.
