    18 volts throigh a 12 dc motor

    The time savings won't be enough to warrant "trial by smoke". If I had gotten a concenses here that given the duty cycle / application it wouldn't be a problem I would have gone ahead but obviously there are two many variables. I suspect, given the mass of the motor and the industrial...

    18 volts throigh a 12 dc motor

    Thanks desertfox. I understand it would generate more heat. My question was more whether the small over voltage would create too much heat given the short run time and very low duty cycle. A larger motor is not really an affordable alternative because the pump and motor are one assembly. The...

    18 volts throigh a 12 dc motor

    18 volts dc through a 12 volt dc motor. the motor operates a hydraulic pump. no electronics other than a coil relay to close the motor circuit. i would still just wire the relay 12 volts. Whole thing is to operate a 1 inch bore RAM. 1000lbs pushing capacity. I'm hoping to speed it up a bit...
