Assuming you're mostly interested in relative ranking of the motors, you could build a simple test rig using an encoder to measure speed, an ammeter to measure current, and a CIM to generate a load.
With the load switch open, close the power switch and record speed and current. Close the load switch and record speed and current. Open the power switch and install the next CIM to be tested. Repeat.
You could also include a double-pole-double-throw switch to quickly reverse the power leads, and test in both directions.
Our thanks does not have to come from their lips. It comes from the finished product that walks across the stage, gets their diploma and moves on to bigger and better things. - Koko Ed [more]
