Re: Gearing That Cannot Overcome Static Friction

More than friction I would think that inertia would be the major force to overcome. If that last gear takes 1 ft-lb to turn and it's at the end of a 1:100 gear train, my motor might not have 100 ft-lb (plus friction!) at stall.

I could be wrong, though.
