NEO 550
NEO 550 Motor Overview
The REV NEO 550 (REV-21-1651) Brushless Motor is the newest member in the NEO family of brushless motors. Its output power and small size are specifically designed to make NEO 550 the perfect motor for intakes and other non-drivetrain robot mechanisms. Mounting holes and pilot match a standard 550 series motor, making it natively mount to many existing off-the-shelf gearboxes.
The REV NEO 550 Brushless Motor runs a 0.12in output shaft which, when combined with its 550-style mounting features, allows for easy installation in many off-the-shelf gearboxes.
Its small size and weight make it easy to put power where you need it, whether that is on intakes, end-effectors, or other weight-sensitive mechanisms. However, keep in mind that this motor does have a lower thermal mass than a NEO, CIM or Mini CIM, and thus it may not be ideal for some drivetrain applications.
Wiring Connections
Connecting the NEO 550 Brushless motors is fairly straightforward. Follow the guide at Wiring the Spark Max with the NEO Brushless Motor, and don't forget to connect your encoder sensor wire; the motor will not spin without it!
CAUTION: Improperly wiring the connectors can cause severe motor damage and is not covered by the warranty. DO NOT connect the motor directly to the battery.
