Re: 2006 Motor Specs

Normal is a relative term. The current draw varies between the free current value and stall current value as load is applied. If you have some idea of what load you're applying to the motor, you can determine the current draw using the information provided in the spec. sheets. If you don't know the load, but can measure the shaft speed (e.g., RPM), you can work backward to find the load as well.
