Re: Technical Reference for Mabuchi Motors

Mabuchi is a top-notch motor manufacturer, and their production capacity is very high -- I recall on a tour several years ago hearing that they were making more than 5 million motors per day. Clearly, production at that scale must be highly automated. Just as clearly, even relatively rare instances of manufacturing defects will be noticed quickly at that scale. Most of Mabuchi's customers have a VERY low tolerance for motor defects.

The reference material linked above is well worth the time you will spend reviewing it.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
