Re: CIM Motor Simple Explanation

Cims are the most electrically durable motors available, when a motor is Loaded it uses more electricity, heats up, and generates more torque. Because the Cims are nearly impossible to break with shock loads, stalling, and aggressive heating due to heavy use, they are best suited to go in the drive-train, an arm without any balance, or any other application where other motors would not fare as well.
