Re: Best motor/gearbox for lifting

We tested our lift today, and are certain that one CIM *can* do the job... But we are using two, even though the lift isn't appreciably faster, just to be sure. (We have the weight, so the extra CIM is just insurance of the current/power variety.)

"Just To Be Sure!" could be the motto for our climbing team... We're likely over-engineering everything, and adding in robot-safety features that really aren't necessary, and we're glad to do it!
