Re: CIM Motor RPM

150 lbs how far from axis of rotation. You need to know the torque on the motor to calculate the rpm. For example, 150 lbs one inch away from the axis of rotation is 150 inch pounds of torque, but 150 lbs two inches away from the axis of rotation would be 300 inch pounds of torque. The motor will spin faster in the first case.
