Here is a pic of some recycled motors taken from computer printers and other equipment, that may be common to others. I know that several of the motors are the same size and probably from the same manufacturer, so i was wondering if any of them could be used as a project to make a motorised mill table (mini-mill) or for other uses?
The 2 motors on the left (one has a gearbox on it) seem to be the same, but one (with the gearbox) has heavier gauge wires for it - so I'm guessing that's a high torque 12V motor; the other, lower left, has much thinner gauge wires, although it is the same size motor - so I'm at a loss as to what that is for.
The others - I guess they are all stepper motors, so unless I go into CNC, I guess they aren't too much use to me. Interesting though - if I turn the motor with the worm gear, it turns the other with the ordinary gear - so it is acting like a generator.
Anything I can do with these, guys?
