Wiring Oriental Motor Motors

Oriental Motor

I really like the Oriental Motor motors and gear boxes. The motors work well and they have nice gearbox configurations. In particular I like these for driving wheels on medium size robots.

Internals of the hollow shaft gearbox. The motor attaches below the gears on the right. Then a drive shaft is inserted into the keyed hole on the left.

While I really like the products, the company support is lacking. In particular they will not give out the wiring instructions or detailed specifications for their products.

This is just a quick post as a wiring guide for the Oriental Motors motors. I have successfully used these colors on several DC brushless motors that they sell. However I can not make any guarantees that the motors you purchase will be the same.

For the motor power wires here are the wire colors:

PurplePhase A
BluePhase B
GreyPhase C

For the hall sensor wires:

Hope this helps!
