Re: Max Torque For BaneBots RS550 12v Motor

From the Banebot website:
Quote:
We recommend maximum torque not exceed 35 ft-lb for all P60 Series Gearboxes.
It is possible to mount motors that will exceed this in higher gear reductions. Higher reduction gearboxes should be utilized primarily for speed reduction. Designs utilizing a P60 gearbox / motor combination that will exceed 35 ft-lb should include a method of limiting torque to prevent damage to the gearbox.
