I was wondering if I can use 30 gauge wire-wrapping wire to power a DC
motor.
The motor is a "Gear Motor 2" from www.hobbyengineering.com with the
following specifications:
"This motor offers 50 in-oz of torque and rotates at 38 rpm (just a bit
slower than a servo). With a 5V power source it draws 600mA when
stalled and 52ma when unloaded. It has a 7mm double-flat output shaft,
built-in clutch, and convenient mounting screw holes."
The webpage http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm says that 30 gauge
wire has "Maximum amps for chassis wiring" of 0.86 and "Maximum amps
for power transmission" of 0.142, both values very conservative.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thank you.
