This might not have all of the information that you need, but it should be helpful, nonetheless.

This is what we are being told, from the motor's specifications. This is what we've all be designing to over the past 2 years since we started getting these motors in 2002.

But...

I don't believe them. Seriously. This thing seems to spin at more rpm than 5,500 at free speed. I'd bet a Coke that the free speed is more like 6,000 rpm (Mt. Dew sucks - there, I said it). Last year, there were some people who tested this motor and showed different numbers than what it is rated, but I can't remember who did it nor what their results were.

We put one on a gearbox a few weeks ago and the output speed of the gearbox seemed higher than the calculated speed if there were no efficiency losses. While I have gotten better at designing gearboxes over the past couple of years, I seriously doubt if I have found a way to increase the power of these motors through super-efficient gear reduction. :)

If someone has the tools to test this thing, will you post your results?
