Re: hey got a tech question about AM Trannys

the output RPM of the gearboxes isn't *that* helpful of a figure.

If you are try to estimate a drive's performance, download JVN's mechanical design calculator from the whitepapers; Input your motor and gearbox specs (for efficiency, do .9ish for each spur/sprocket reduction.) and it will provide you some nice data on velocity, current draw, etc...
