ME1004 DIY Drive Kit

The ME1004  is a Permanent Magnet, Brush Type, DC Motor with Neodymium Iron Boron Magnets. Capable of 200 amps continuous, and 400 amps for 1 minute. Efficiency is 90%. The 1" diameter shaft is similar to that on most Lawn and Garden Tractor engines. At 2.5" is also longer than other models to facilitate coupling. This motor is perfect for an engine replacement on a Lawn and Garden tractor or riding mower when converting internal combustion engine tractors to electric propulsion. A motor control is necessary to control speed and prevent damage over time to the collector, due to inrush current.

Contactor

Contactors (also known as solenoids) are used to connect and disconnect main battery buss power. When it is time to turn your vehicle on or off, the contactor will engage or disengage the power at the flip of a switch. This is very usefull in an emergency situation when main power needs to be turned off quickly and easily.

When using an Alltrax controller, the contactor coil Voltage must match the nominal Voltage of your battery pack. It is highly recommended that an appropriate pre-charge resistor (included) and a coil spike suppression diode (included) be used with the contactor.
