How to Use 24V DC Motor 30W 2.1 Amp 60 RPM: Examples, Pinouts, and Specs

The 24V DC Motor (Model: XD3D30-24GN-32S), manufactured by NIX DA MOTOR Company CO., LTD, is a robust and efficient motor designed for a wide range of mechanical applications. This motor operates at 24 volts, delivers a power output of 30 watts, and has a current draw of 2.1 amps. With a rotational speed of 60 RPM, it is ideal for applications requiring precise and consistent low-speed torque.

• Conveyor belt systems
• Robotic arms and automation equipment
• Electric gates and doors
• Industrial machinery
• DIY projects requiring low-speed, high-torque motors

The motor has two terminals for electrical connections:

Note: Ensure proper polarity when connecting the motor to avoid damage.

1. Power Supply: Use a regulated 24V DC power supply capable of delivering at least 2.5A to ensure stable operation.
2. Polarity: Connect Terminal 1 to the positive terminal of the power supply and Terminal 2 to the ground.
3. Motor Driver: For speed and direction control, use a motor driver or H-bridge circuit compatible with 24V DC motors.
4. Load Connection: Attach the desired mechanical load to the motor shaft. Ensure the load does not exceed the motor's torque rating (4.8 Nm).
5. Testing: Gradually apply power and monitor the motor's performance. Avoid sudden changes in voltage to prevent damage.

• Overcurrent Protection: Use a fuse or circuit breaker rated at 2.5A to protect the motor from overcurrent conditions.
• Heat Dissipation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the motor to prevent overheating during prolonged use.
• Mounting: Secure the motor firmly to avoid vibrations that could affect performance.
• Reverse Polarity: Avoid reversing the polarity of the power supply, as it may damage the motor.
• PWM Control: For speed control, use a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal with a motor driver.

Below is an example of how to control the motor using an Arduino UNO and an L298N motor driver:

// Arduino code to control a 24V DC motor using an L298N motor driver

// Define motor control pins
const int IN1 = 9;  // IN1 pin on L298N for motor direction
const int IN2 = 8;  // IN2 pin on L298N for motor direction
const int ENA = 10; // ENA pin on L298N for motor speed (PWM)

// Setup function
void setup() {
  pinMode(IN1, OUTPUT); // Set IN1 as output
  pinMode(IN2, OUTPUT); // Set IN2 as output
  pinMode(ENA, OUTPUT); // Set ENA as output
}

// Loop function
void loop() {
  // Rotate motor in forward direction
  digitalWrite(IN1, HIGH); // Set IN1 high
  digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);  // Set IN2 low
  analogWrite(ENA, 128);   // Set motor speed to 50% (PWM value: 128)

  delay(5000); // Run motor for 5 seconds

  // Stop the motor
  digitalWrite(IN1, LOW);  // Set IN1 low
  digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);  // Set IN2 low
  analogWrite(ENA, 0);     // Set motor speed to 0

  delay(2000); // Wait for 2 seconds

  // Rotate motor in reverse direction
  digitalWrite(IN1, LOW);  // Set IN1 low
  digitalWrite(IN2, HIGH); // Set IN2 high
  analogWrite(ENA, 128);   // Set motor speed to 50% (PWM value: 128)

  delay(5000); // Run motor for 5 seconds

  // Stop the motor
  digitalWrite(IN1, LOW);  // Set IN1 low
  digitalWrite(IN2, LOW);  // Set IN2 low
  analogWrite(ENA, 0);     // Set motor speed to 0

  delay(2000); // Wait for 2 seconds
}

Note: Ensure the L298N motor driver is powered with a 24V DC supply and properly connected to the motor.

1. Motor Does Not Start

   • Cause: Insufficient power supply or incorrect wiring.
   • Solution: Verify the power supply voltage and current rating. Check the wiring for proper connections.

2. Motor Overheats

   • Cause: Prolonged operation under excessive load or poor ventilation.
   • Solution: Reduce the load on the motor and ensure proper ventilation.

3. Motor Runs in the Wrong Direction

   • Cause: Reversed polarity of the power supply or control signals.
   • Solution: Swap the connections of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 or adjust the motor driver control signals.

4. Motor Vibrates Excessively

   • Cause: Loose mounting or unbalanced load.
   • Solution: Secure the motor firmly and ensure the load is balanced.

• Q: Can this motor be used with a battery?

  • A: Yes, a 24V DC battery with sufficient current capacity (at least 2.5A) can be used.

• Q: Is this motor compatible with PWM speed control?

  • A: Yes, the motor can be controlled using PWM signals via a motor driver.

• Q: Can the motor operate at voltages lower than 24V?

  • A: While the motor may run at lower voltages, its performance (speed and torque) will be reduced.

• Q: What is the maximum load this motor can handle?

  • A: The motor can handle loads up to its rated torque of 4.8 Nm. Exceeding this may damage the motor.
