Re: pic: 4908 Prototype West Coast Drive

Re: Understanding WCP Drive Train Calculator
1. You're fine during acceleration; the motor is only stalled for an instant. You can see here from the 40A breaker datasheet that you can draw large amounts of currents for a short amount of time....

Re: Designing with sensors
I've done similar as well. works with even just a single slit across. Since it's more or less a rigid coupling, good practice would be to make a somewhat flexible mount so minimal side load is put on...
