Re: Important note about USB-6009 input voltage limitations
I believe you are right. A zener diode will offer the best protection in parallel with the motor. It has a higher amount of current draw, therefore the voltage cannot build up across the motor. If you search digikey you may actually find a selection of surge protection diodes. But you may be able to get by with a regular zener.
