Robotics and Electromechanical Items
HK S0157D Motor

go right to the catalog! Skip the INTRO, Go RIGHT to the CATALOG!

These are the stock robotic, electromechanical, and motor items we have on hand, both new and used. There is a wide variety of material, and stock changes constantly. We try and keep a deep stock of commonly used parts, and always have some strange and bizarre items of high interest value.

* NAVIGATION: To make your life easier, and help you find exactly what you want, we have broken the on-line equipment catalogs into smaller sections. Just CLICK on the item you are looking for at the left, to see the matching catalog. Large graphical catalogs are a bit SLOW, so please give them a bit of time to load. The top header of each catalog is largely the same, so don't think you are stuck in one place!

You can order anything here just by picking up the phone, and calling (250) 769-1834 during normal office hours, 8:30AM to 4:30PM PST, or FAX to (250) 769-4106. OR, Email your order to Susan CLICKHERE.

*SHIPPING: Preferred and Alternate Methods as of 1/1/2011

*Preferred - Canadian ExpressPost which has guaranteed delivery time, is insured, and trackable on-line. We have an extraordinarily good success rate (better than 99.9%) with ExpressPost, so we highly recommend it, especially for one-of-a-kind items. It is cheaper than couriers, trackable, more reliable, fully insured and goes almost everywhere.

*USA destinations, shipping/handling minimum of $28.00 for any insured, trackable air shipment up to .5 kg/1 pound. (typical delivery within 5 business days).
*Canadian destinations are typically $12-18.00 (depending on location) with delivery within 2-3 business days.
* Europe, Australia, South America and other overseas areas via Canada Post International ExpressPost air mail insured service or Canada Post International Air Service where ExpressPost is not offered is $57.00 for parcels up to 500 grams/1 pound.

*Alternate - Regular Airmail. Virtually all of our shipment failures and delays have been because of this method, so it should be used with caution.

*USA Destinations are $12.00 for AirMail parcels up to 250 grams/.5 pound or $15.00 for parcels from 250 grams to 1 KG/2.2 pounds. This option offers no delivery guarantee or insurance so we can accept no liability for loss or damage.
*Canadian destinations are virtually identical to ExpressPost, so we do not offer this method within Canada, as it has no advantage to the customer.
*Europe, Australia, South America and other overseas areas via AirMail is $22.00 for parcels weighing up to 500 grams/1 pound. This service offers no guarantee, insurance or tracking and we can accept no liability for loss or damage. Transit times are unpredictable by this method, but service to Europe is generally very good, while service to South America is simply terrible.

*Alternate - Courier. This is usually the most expensive method, but can be the quickest.

*We can also ship FedEx or UPS when time or weight is critical, and overnight FedEx P1 shipping is available. Note that our pick-up cut-off time is noon PST for FedEx. We can use your account number, or bill to your credit card only. Our experience is that FedEx is the best solution for time critical shipments, UPS for heavy ones, but UPS has a higher damage rate.

* E-Mail Susan if you want a quote for shipping to other destinations, or for something heavy. Sorry, we can't safely send most individual small parts in a regular letter envelope, they get destroyed by the automated handling equipment. Sometimes we can ship very rugged parts in a small padded envelope by letter post. Ask Susan.

*There is a packing charge for large or heavy equipment, see the elsewhere in the FAQ for details.

*If we have your valid data on file, you can just click on the ORDER email link to place an order and indicate your approval to bill, and we will do the rest. We keep your active information for ONE YEAR for your convenience.

*If this is the first time you have dealt with us, you can phone +1 (250) 769-1834 or FAX +1 (250) 769-4106 to supply the billing info, or send it by the email link, as you prefer. We accept VISA/MC, international money order, Paypal (to Susan@Okanagan.net), and bank wire transfer. Please note that there are transaction fees with Paypal and wire transfer payments, the wire transfer fee is frankly horrifying.

We accept VISA/MC or international money order

* CONDITION: To answer your questions, YES, we completely check and inspect all used equipment, and do not offer any we feel is substandard. That gear is normally scrapped, broken down for parts, or may get offered as-is in the HOT DEALS section, with the unit's condition clearly identified. If there are any marks or detracting features, we clearly state them in the listing. Before shipment, we burn in the equipment for 24 hrs. again and re-check to be sure it is good prior to shipment.

* The CATALOG will appear below shortly!
Don't forget these illustrated sections take a few seconds to load, but they are worth the wait!

VBM Universal 3-Joint Support Arms


Includes 70-0200-00 arm and 79-030-00 universal base. These new VBM support arms were designed for medical equipment support (endoscopes, etc.), but are ideal for any light weight lab requirement, such as test fixturing, fans, antenna supports, probe anchors, task lights, and a host of other interesting uses. Beautifully made from nickel plated steel and aluminum, they offer amazing range of motion, and the universal clamp has a wide mounting acceptance range (50mm deep, and 30mm wide).

The end has a standard M8 thread (8mm) for attaching your item. the drawing shows a similar image, which included an endoscope mount we clipped off, and a different clamp, the -00 has s plain end. The catalog says it is a 50cm arm, over-all length is 22 inches. CLICK HERE for full factory PDF datasheet. Still packed in original factory cartons, list for $230 each. Exceptionally fine European craftsmanship, CE marked, you won't be disappointed.

MK, CLICK to visit!   CLICK to visit MK for motor data!
Merkle Korff S0157D/CYHC-42964-51 Motor, Amazingly powerful 2 inch diameter (4 inch long) 12VDC/0.18A gearmotors (approx. 1.4 rotations per second at 12VDC), with massive torque. These motors will run down to 1.8V/0.11A (with approx. 1 rotation per 12 seconds), still with torque so high you cannot stall the shaft by hand. Brush style motors with a reducing gearbox, they are excellent for all kinds of electromechanical devices, with enough rest friction to allow the motor to act as a brake on the drive shaft. There is also a tach/generator for speed control (yellow wires) which outputs approx. 9.29V/373Hz at 12VDC, and 1.2V/46Hz at 1.8V of motor drive. Red and black wires for the motor, with integral beads for RF suppression, and Faston connectors in the positive lead to allow a hash filter to be inserted. Tapped holes on both ends of the motor for attachment, and the shaft (D-flatted) is 0.25 inches in diameter by 0.65 inches long. Fully reversible, with all leads floating, draws 0.3A at 12VDC heavily loaded on the drive shaft. New and unused, ready for your application!

Toshiba Simple Interface to all kinds of robotic motor functions!
1.5A / 24VDC Bipoolar Motor Driver This chip provides direct DC motor control with 4 operating modes (2 logic line control) FORWARD, REVERSE, STOP and BRAKE. TTL level logic control, easily interfaced to switches, logic or microcontrollers, and 2 floating motor pins with suppression diodes, thermal, over-voltage and over-current protection. H-bridge design provides motor reversal with only a single power supply (typ. 6-16VDC) and motor braking function. Speed control can be achieved by combining a PWM signal with forward/reverse logic commands. A great way to control all kinds of small DC motors, works great with the motor above. DOWNLOAD the full PDF Data Sheet HERE. We also have a high quality matching heatsink with PC mounting tabs that can be used with the TA8050P, see PIC HERE, requires one hole to be drilled for IC mounting, $2 each.
