    Gearing a micro motor to retain waterproof seal

    Israel, That is a very interesting way to go about it, and would probably work great, but I am unsure whether that solution would have enough torque and RPM's to do the job I need it to do. In a situation where I could use a motor with two AA batteries and the motor could be 1.5 or even larger...

    Gearing a micro motor to retain waterproof seal

    What to Look For?!?!? Still looking the micro motor route until otherwise convinced that is not the way to go, but am also running into the cost Q's and trying to get some base idea of how much different micro motors cost and why, quality and purposes being high on the reasons list I am sure...

    Mike, Thanks, your suggestions so far at least are leading me to learn more about different types of engineering solution,s and learning is always a good thing. DId some Google image searches for mag-drives and then went to the sites and on cursory glance all of the hits returned were for...

    Gearing a micro motor to retain waterproof seal

    The other thing I Wanted to mention too is that the shaft would be going into something that would later be consumed by a person so it would need to be "clean" in that respect too. So I am assuming a flex shaft would not be appropriate, correct? MW

    Gearing a micro motor to retain waterproof seal

    Thanks for the input Mike. I guess the shaft assembly is where I am having issues understanding and would love to see a good example. FOr this product the motor can be completely separate from the main shaft that needs to spin with the exception of course of the connection between the shaft...

    Gearing a micro motor to retain waterproof seal

    Hello all.... 1st off I am a product designer and not an engineer, I apologize in advance to those that might be offended at that. Wish I had gone to engineering school. 20 years ago. :) Question: I have an invention where the problem I need to solve is most closely related (I think) to an RC...
