Soclt Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hello,I'm trying to make rotary encoder for scratch wheel using HDD motor. I`ve taken Maxtor Diamondmax 60GB IDE HDD, but the motor inside was mounted without any screws, just hardly pushed into the metal. Maybe anyone could suggest where I can find normally mounted steppers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimo Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 What about cutting the chassis and making 2 holes for screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soclt Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Why I have to use workaround if I have a lot of hard drives? :) I found exact steppers I need in Fujitsu 20GB HDD manufactured in 2001-04. Model: MPG3204AT. I think all models MPG310xxx - MPG340xxx from 10GB to 40GB have the same motor :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
