Question Van Door Motor Problem
OK so heres what happened....we designed and built our arm going by the specs FIRST gave us on the Taigene Van door motor and it was supposed to run at a free speed of 75 RPMs but once we hooked the arm up and tested it for the first time it was going really slow. so we made a mark on the motor shaft and timed it and it only was running at 50 RPMs under no load....has anyone else had this problem? or if anyone has a comment on this? we are kind of stumped

p.s. we tested one of the previous years van door motors and it ran at almost 80 RPMs.
