Re: Stalling the BaneBot 775 motors

No motor is designed to be stalled for any amount of time. Any power supplied to the motor when it is not turning turns directly to heat. All of the BaneBot motors and FP motors are fitted with a cooling impeller inside the motor. Unless the motor is running at a half decent speed it lacks sufficient cooling to allow operation. You may get away with it for a little while but you WILL eventually cook your motors. I would suggest you look into a wormgear drive or ratcheting system to prevent backdriving rather than relying on stalling the motor.
