Default Small DC motor question

cool jer wrote:

Hi,

I have a couple of questions concerning a small dc motor that operates
a moving display track. It uses a 15 volt 400ma adapter which checks
out fine. The motor powers a sliding arm that reverses when it reaches
the end of the run and vice versa. What I am having trouble with is
keeping the motor running. After a minute or so the motor quits, when I
disconnect the motor and wait a minute or so and re-connect it, it runs
again for another 15 seconds. I went out and purchased 2 new similar
motors and they do the same thing. If I hook the motor up directly to
the ac adapter the motor will run with no problems. The adapter powers
a little circuit board that houses the electronics for the reversing
switch, from here the wires go to the motor. Is the problem in the
switch or board? Are there motor problems? Thanks in advance for the
help.


its the control board, cant be anything else.
