Re: Shaft specs for CIM motors
While Andy has provided some very valuable information here, I'm not sure that it applies to this situation or not. Yes, the CIM and Mini-CIM share the same output geometry and circumference, but they are not the same motor.
The failure described above was of a Mini-CIM, not a CIM. So, what specifically are the differences in the two motors that can account for this failure? I know many teams have been prototyping with direct drive CIM shooters, and I don't believe we have seen failures of those. Is it just the Mini-CIM that doesn't like this treatment, or just this one motor in this one event?
