DC motors source?

That was a good link for a slip clutch, however, sadly it it not man enough for a full sized throttle. I am converting a Symulatory throttle to DC motors contolled by OC cards. When the throttles are fully forward you need 80n-cm to full them back against gravity. So, if we used the Conrad clutch with a max of 30n-cm then the clutch would always break and the throttles not move - hence the option of manual overide is completely lost. I do not doubt that if lightweight construction was used then it may be ok, but not sadly in my case

Thanks anyway

David,

Thank you for pointing this out, as I clearly do not understand the 80n-cm vs. 30n-cm thing.
