Re: Calculating Linear Force from Motor Torque?

You have to be careful with safety factors. Otherwise you start with a mouse built to government specification---A elephant.

Airplanes are another example of competing safety factors. You don't want wings falling off, but you want your lift to weight ratio much greater than 1.
