Hello!Sorry for disturbing you guys, we are students...We are making the project, and we get this component which we are using, but we do not have any ideas what's the name of it, and nobody around us know it. And we cant even find it in internet to order them.Can you please help us with this.Thank you very much
Can you tell us whether it is a switch? If not, what is its function?
If there are only two wires, not three, then I suspect it is some type of spring loaded limit switch or spring loaded rotary switch. If you need just two words, I would call it a limit switch.
Is there a schematic (circuit diagram) that you must follow?
What kind of test equipment do you have (if any)? For instance, do you have a Volt-Ohm-Meter (VOM) or a Digital Volt Meter (DVM), etc.? They could be used to confirm John's idea.
Where did you get it from?
Did the teacher give it to you?
Did you find it?
Did it just appear as though it were beamed down from the Starship Enterprise?
but we do not have any ideas what's the name of it,
lookz like a dc motor to me, out of a vcr or cd player, with some gears n such,,, it looks like there is a spring load so that it can only make a fraction of a turn in each direction,
or else as stated above is a switch,,
measure resistance, if 0 or infinity is switch, if there is resistance then is motor
