Could you (or someone else) give an example of how Ke and Kt are used? Whenever I've wants to do motor calculations, I've just assumed free speed directly varied with voltage, that current drawn=free current + (free current-stall current)*(torque load on motor/stall torque), and power=voltage*current=Speed*torque/efficiency. Those have basically gotten me where I've needed to go in terms of motor calcs. Where does Ke and Kt come into play?
