Re: Uses for FP Motors?

Unless something has changed this year, (sorry, haven't checked the spec sheets) the power of the CIM and the FP are only separated by a few watts.


The biggest problem with FP's is that you can't really load them till they're close to stall, or they will smoke. You must design in a few hundred to thousand safety RPM to keep them cool.
