The NeveRest Orbital gearmotor is a robust planetary gearmotor designed for FTC. With many ratios to choose from you can find the right motor for you, from a fast spinning intake to a high reduction arm, all are possible with NeveRest Orbitals. They have a pre-installed encoder and an output shaft directly in the center of the output face. The shaft is a 6 mm D and the gearbox housing is 37 mm in 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.
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. Multiply the ratio by 7 to get the PPR of the output shaft. For example the NeverRest 3.7 output shaft provides 25.9 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:
If you need the output shaft to be a 1/2" Hex, check out the 6 mm D to 0.5 in. Hex-Shaft Adapter (am-3744a)

This is the cable designed for the encoder that is pre-attached to the NeveRest Series of motors and gearmotors. It has a connector on the opposite end to directly interface with the REV Expansion Hub or the REV Control Hub.
2019 Update:
The 'a' version of this cable as the encoder channels swapped so that the encoder counts in the same direction as the output shaft spins. This simplifies the usage of the encoder with the various programming languages for FTC!
Used with the Intake Kit to create various intake system with various lengths.
The Intake Kit can be used to create intake systems and is ideal for the FIRST Technical Challenge (FTC) and World Robotics Olympiad (WRO). Used with the Silicone Rubber Tubing #76410

This versatile rotary sensor offers a comprehensive solution for measuring both relative and absolute positions, thanks to its ABI quadrature output and absolute position pulse output capabilities. The encoder is thoughtfully designed with a standard 3/8-inch Hex Through Bore, complete with strategically placed mounting holes to seamlessly integrate into various multi-channel systems.
Enhancing its adaptability further, the package includes interchangeable inserts, allowing you to effortlessly convert the 3/8-inch hex to a 6mm D-Shaft, 5mm hex, or 7mm hex, providing you with exceptional flexibility for your application needs.
Great for use in an FTC Odometry system along with our 38mm omni wheel.
The 38mm Omni Wheel was designed as an odometry wheel that can fit inside most channel sizes. For ease of use, three cores were designed to fit 6mm D-Shaft, 5mm Hex Shaft, and 7mm Hex Shaft. The wheel is open for easy use in any ecosystem with the provided different-sized cores.
Includes,
Take your TETRIX robots to the next level with a stronger 12-volt DC motor with 100 rpm and 700 oz-in. of torque. The motor features a built-in, high-resolution Hall effect encoder for precise motor control. Based on user feedback and created specifically to withstand the stress of intense robotics competitions, this is our strongest TETRIX motor yet. TorqueNADO is compatible with allTetrix Max; DC Motor Mounts.
Specs:
These gearboxes are designed with the same 37 mm diameter as the original 60:1 gearbox, while using the same 6 mm D-shaft and alignment pins, so getting the additional speed you need is a breeze.
