NEO Vortex
NEO Vortex Overview
The NEO Vortex Brushless Motor (REV-21-1652) is a high-power, high-performance, and high-resolution sensored brushless motor from REV Robotics. It features a dockable controller interface that can be mounted directly to the SPARK Flex Motor Controller (REV-11-2159) or a NEO Vortex Solo Adapter (REV-11-2828) allowing control from any brushless motor controller, like the SPARK MAX. Its through-bore rotor is the heart of its unique interchangeable shaft system, facilitating easy integration with various robot mechanisms.
