Thanks for the great information sanddrag. I have a follow-up question. Are the rpms that are quoted applicable when the gearbox is attached to the motor i.e. if free load rpm is 20000 then that is the on the "shaft" of the gearbox? Or is free load actually on the shaft of the motor and the gearbox reduces that number (20000)?
