The info is in the APP-NOTES

Below is the typical information given in the Application Notes (that are part of the RULES by the way -- please read them!):

Quote:
Application Note: Globe Motor
Specs:
1. Stall torque at 12 Volts: 180 in-lbs
2. Stall current at 12 Volts: 20 Amps
3. Free Speed at 12 Volts: 45 RPM
4. Peak Power at 12 Volts: 23 Watts (mechanical power, not electrical power)
With the data given, you can generate the motor curves you are interested in. Use the spread sheet in the whitepapers section of this web site if you need help generating the plots (my motor calc spread sheet would like to have free current as well as stall current, but for our purposes you can get away with entering zero or 0.5 or some other estimate with little ill effect).

I hope this helps.

Joe J.
