Need help to find a 'button' motor
« on: June 12, 2008, 06:03:08 AM »
Hello people, i need your help and wisdom (coz i sure don't have any at the momont, lol)

I'm in the middle of designing a new mod for the PSP UMD Door and i need a Very small motor (a Button motor for lack of a better expression), something like the one used on the UMD drive. Does anyone know where i may find something like it or similer?

Thanks in advance Folks!

Well, Cell phone vibrate motor's do the job and they are pretty small.

Sorry i should explain myself better, the motor i need looks like a button (from a shirt for example, very flat motor). problem with moble motors is that there small in hight but too long for what in need to make.

you want a vibrate motor? lol use the one in the wiimote

No, it's not a vibrate motor i need, this is for a new umd mod i'm working on. no rumble involed.

A motorized UMD door that acts like a stand for watching vids?  If so, a tiny micro servo would have all the power (geared) at 5V.  I have one and will see if it fits in an empty UMD area...

dude just get the motor off a cell phone and remove the little plates on the top that make it vibrate,aint no such thing as a motor designed for vibrating,they have plates on the bottom which through it off balance to make it vibrate,not kryptonite in the middle that somehow makes it vibrate
Derp.

lol! yeah i know, it the shape of those motors thats the problem not how small it is. the motor has to be fixed so the motor is in the center. when i tried one, it still got in the way of a umd. the motors on the psp umd drive is flat, it's only a couple of milimeters
in hight so it should really well. plus you can keep the umd drive!
