    Will these motors work for a cutting plotter

    http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...3112010474.jpg

    I salvaged these from an Multifunction Copier.

    I can t find any info on the model number but it has on it:

    17PU-H324-G5ST
    2.9V 2.4OHM
    NO. T7112-02
    MINEBEA MATSU****A
    MOTOR CORPORATION

    WILL THESE HAVE ENOUGH TORQUE TO MOVE THE XY AXIS FOR A PLOTTER?

    THANKS

    That depends...
    How heavy are the parts to be moved?
    How fast do you want it to move/accelerate?
    How much force will be required to cut the material?

    You may want to look for some motors that are a bit larger.
