Motors
The NeveRest Orbital 20 is a gearmotor with an attached encoder. The output shaft geometry and the gearbox housing diameter is similar to what FTC teams are familiar with. The shaft is a 6 mm D and the gearbox housing is 37 mm diameter.
The power cable which feeds into the black encoder housing has two different options that are already crimped to the end of the cable. (select your needs above):
FIRST Legality:
Usage:
Encoder:
There is an encoder mounted to the backside of this motor. It is a 7 pulse per revolution (ppr), hall effect encoder. Since the motor's gearbox has a 19.2:1 reduction, then the NeverRest Orbital 20 output shaft provides 134.4 ppr.
Encoder Cable Options:
NeveRest motors do not come with an encoder cable as we offer 3 cable options:
am-3926a allows you to connect the encoder directly to the FIRST Tech Challenge REV Controller. am-2992 has the 4 encoder pins joined in one housing using standard 0.1" spacing. am-2993 allows you to break out the 4 pins separately if you need them in a different order.
Working with the Encoders:
Performance Specs:
Time to Failure at Stall: 2 minutes, 54 seconds
Motor Case Temperature at Failure: 190 degrees F
This is ONLY the motor that is featured in the NeveRest Series gearmotors. This motor has a pinion gear pre-installed that interfaces with either our NeveRest Classic gearboxes (12T) or our NeveRest Orbital gearboxes (17T). To produce a reasonable amount of torque for either driving your robot or moving a mechanism you will need one of the following gearboxes.
The power cable which feeds into the black encoder housing has two different options that are already crimped to the end of the cable. (select your needs above):
12 tooth pinion gear options: am-3104 & am-3104b are compatible with CLASSIC Gearboxes and replacements on CLASSIC Gearmotors:
17 tooth pinion gear options: am-3104_17t & am-3104b_17t Compatible With ORBITAL Gearboxes:
FRC/FTC Legality:
Encoder Cable options:
Encoder cables are not included with this motor, and are sold separately. We have three options:
Encoder:
The hall effect encoder mounted on the back of this motor provides 28 pulses per revolution (ppr).
Use in a BaneBots Gearbox:
This motor can be attached to a NeveRest Sport series gearboxes. Watch this video for step by step instruction on a similar gearbox, and reference this document for steps on using it with the NeveRest Sport.
am-3104_17t Gear Details
This motor is the same motor included in our PG Gearmotors and is being sold with the intention of replacing the motor without having to purchase the gearbox as well.
This motor comes with the pinion gear attached and also includes the 2 mounting screws. This motor has a short back shaft which does not interface with an encoder.
The RedLine Encoder Kit is designed to adapt the AM Mag Encoder(am-3479) onto the back shaft of the RedLine Motor. Due to the mounting, it also provides additional support for motor spades. Included in the kit is a magnet adapter, mount board, screws, and the AM Mag Encoder.
Works with the Encoder cable, 36" long, with single pin connectors(am-2269)

This motor is the same motor included in our PG27 Gearmotor, and is being sold with the intention of replacing the motor without having to purchase the gearbox as well. This motor comes with the pinion gear and encoder attached and also includes the 2 mounting screws.
The back shaft of this motor features our Hall Effect Encoder, which can be removed if your application needs the long back shaft. This motor, without the encoder, is am-2766, and is similar to am-2194, except it has a longer back shaft. Both of those motors are FIRST Robotics Competition manual as being legal for use in 2020.

Everyone's favorite motor for indexing, and small jobs in tight spaces, is back with everyone's favorite shaft, 1/2 in. hex!
This motor and gearbox combo originally came from a snowblower assembly, but now has a custom shaft just for FRC. Use our half inch hex hub or a 1/2 in. hex bore wheel to transfer power directly, or sprocket and chain to drive the mechanism of your dreams! The shaft also now has a #10-32 hole in the end for easy hub/sprocket retention.

The CIM motor is a tried and true FIRST Robotics Competition workhorse motor. This brushed DC motor is 2.5 inches in diameter and kicks out 337 watts of power.
Pinion Options:
The CIM motor shaft is 0.313 in. (8 mm) in diameter and 1.25 inches long. It features a 2 mm wide machine key slot allowing installation of any number of custom or off the shelf pinions such as those included with all of our CIM based gearboxes. Other options include a pre-attached 16 tooth pinion making the CIM ready to mate to a CIM Sport planetary gearbox or a pre-attached 15 tooth pinion preparing the CIM for an EVO Gearbox. Use either of these two options if you are planning on using either the CIM Sport or an EVO gearbox and don't want to install the press fit pinion yourself. All of our other CIM based gearboxes use a slip fit pinion & machine key and are easy for the end user to install.
