Re: Motor Quiz

My work:

CIM Motor Constants
442.5 RPM/Volt
2.581954 oz-in / A
Resistance of motor windings is 0.0902255639 Ohms by Ohm's Law

Thus:
60 oz-in requires 23.238214 A to stall, from a 2.09668 V source

Also, it takes 8.3615819 V to spin 3700 RPM under no load

Add the voltages to arrive at 10.458 V needed to spin 60 oz-in load at 3700 RPM

Check: At this voltage:

Free speed is 4627.65 RPM
Stall Torque is 299.2731 oz-in

Operating parameters are at:
20.0486% of stall
79.9514% of free speed = 3699.87 RPM

Less than 0.4% Calculation error.

Can someone tell me if this is the proper way to do this, or if my hairbrained idea just happened upon a lucky coincidence?
