CIM acronym
 
Does anybody know what CIM stands for? It doesn't seem to be vendor specific.

In the bottom corner of the CIM data sheet from AndyMark, it says "CCL Industrial Motor Limited (CIM). I assume that's the company that manufactures them.

Here's a link to the data sheet - http://files.andymark.com/CIM-motor-curve.pdf

CCL Industrial Motor. CCL stands for Chiaphua Components Limited.

They make the motors for the various vendors/distributors (including Atwood Mobile, FIRST, Fisher-Price, AndyMark, BaneBots, IFI, etc.).

Chiaphua Industries Motor or the Division name CCL Industrial Motor Ltd

Chiaphua Industrial Motors, the original maker of the CIM.

Well played. :)

Glad to know the real origin too, always wondered.

So what does BAG stand for?

It's much nicer to say CIM then Chiaphua, which is what people used to call them (or chalupa).

CCL is a very high end motor company (technically a Hong Kong company), with factories in China. They make most of the high end motors for industrial food processors and have a specific factory for wheel chair motors and entire wheel chairs. They make the CIM motor, IFI BAG motor, and MiniCIM motor. I am pretty sure they make the AM 9015 motor and the PG motors from AndyMark.

I have visited that factory and they are top notch in quality and manufacturing processes.

BAG is an internal acronym used at IFI whose name just stuck. I can tell you that the last initial stands for Globe. Those of you that remember the Globe motor and gearbox will understand our love for the Globe motor. We figured we could design a better Globe motor ...

Apologies, I should have specified CIM motor. However, I now know more about cascade control methods for motor speed control thanks to you.

The Chiaphua Industries Motor explanation is a winner. The VEX datasheet for their CIM motors also shows it in the title block.

Thanks Everyone!
