Ah okay, wow that is really different than what I was thinking. I'm not entirely sure what you would use that wattage for.

Is max mechanical power useful for calculating force applied to an object or something similar to that? I have an equation on the sheet for calculating linear force based on the stall torque of the motor, do you know of another one I could add using max mechanical power? Or an example of what knowing the max mechanical power can tell you?
