Re: Motor Comparison Chart

Also, I can't remember the last time I cared about free current.

It matters most if you are doing some sort of inferred sensing (e.g. I don't have a speed sensor and I want to estimate speed or torque buy measuring current and voltage -- in this case the free current is needed to model the motor correctly).

Very nice data from Vexpro by the way. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hold Strong,
Dr. Joe J.
