My theory as a motor designer: if you have more than the minimum steel required for magnetic flux, the excess should perform another useful function to justify its weight, cost, claimed space, etc. |
Ok, so does anyone have a spec for the wall thickness for a CIM? Mini CIM? Bag CIM? I'd love to see more and more designs delving into this somewhat uncharted territory of using the CIM body as a mounting point.
