To qualify the motor I designed a 3D printed motor mount.
It's composed of a rotating pulley and two motor+shaft holders. With it, it was easy to fix a rope and to try to pull "things".
The conclusion are:
- the motor can pull up to 300g with this pulley before stalling
- a safe weight should be between 200 and 250g
- the motor draws 40mA as specified and at full load and up to 60mA when stalling
- operation is safe when powered at 4V instead as 3V (specs). So a fully charged Li-ion battery can be used.
