Re: Help with CIM motor locking system?

Placing a CIM in brake will not stop it completely. Brake mode turns the permanent magnet motor into a permanent magnet generator.

What you can do is operate the CIM at stall (using a PID for instance) and hold an arm in place. We did this a few years ago with our drive train a few years ago.
