Working with DC motors

 

1) Find a gearhead motor that's approximately the right speed and torque. Surplus motors are widely available, try allelectronics or C&H

2) DC Motors can be reversible or nonreversible, depending on the gearing. To reverse a motor simply switch power and ground.

3) Shaft collars can be used to attach stuff to the motor.

4) Nice information on gears here.

5) An H-bridge circuit provides basic bidirectional control over a DC Motor.

6) Motor control boards and h-bridge ICs are widely available
