Re: 4W Maximum Power Servos? Huh?

Quote:
For those like me looking to understand team update # 3 from last year, the update reads

calculate servo max power as stall torque x no load speed
Just for the record:

The peak power for a DC motor is not equal to stall torque times no load speed.

Assuming the torque vs speed curve is linear, it is equal to 1/4 of that:

The peak power occurs at the middle of the torque vs speed curve, where torque is half the stall torque and speed is half the no load speed.
