Re: CIM speed in reverse?

As far as I know, the CIM motor has NO winding-bias, and spins with the SAME characteristics in forward and reverse.

The variance between drive sides probably has something to do with your gearbox. Possibly one has a parasitic load somewhere you don't know about, which accounts for it running slower.
