NeveRest Orbital Gearmotor (Gear Ratio: 50.9 to 1) PP45 Connector

The power cable which feeds into the black encoder housing has two different options that are already crimped to the end of the cable. 

1. JST-VH-2 connectors: this option plugs directly into the FIRST Tech Challenge REV Controller
2. Anderson Powerpole 15A connectors: This is another popular connector with FTC and FRC teams.

FIRST Legality:

• According to the FIRST Tech Challenge Game Manual, all versions of the NeveRest motor are legal in FTC.
• According to the FIRST Robotics Competition Game Manual, all versions of the NeveRest motor are legal in FRC as it uses the NeveRest am-3104 motor.

Usage:

• PicoBox LEO (am-3614). This gearbox is used for creating chain drives for mechanisms like arms.
• PicoBox GEO (am-3616). This gearbox combines two NeveRest Orbital motors into a single output shaft allowing for combined power at a low ratio.
• PicoBox MEO (am-3615). This gearbox accepts one NeveRest motor and allows for gear changing through PicoBox gearing.

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.

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)
