Re: CIM motor and 8mm key hub

Which ever method you use, please be reminded no motor likes to see a bending load on its shaft. this means no direct placement onto the cim motors keyed shaft. Look into a small reduction gearbox of some type that suits your design criteria or do your best to support the final output shaft through the use of bearings or bushings.
Hope this helps. Many motors fail "unexpectedly" when loaded directly either in competition or on bench testing.
