MOTOR SPECS
This is an attempt to explain the methodology used to
obtain the motor specifications as listed.
Minimum voltage is the lowest voltage at which
the typical motor will start and run unloaded.
Maximum voltage is the highest voltage at which
the motor should be run unloaded due to high RPM. This is a value
judgment made by observing the operation of the motor. (sound, vibration,
etc.)
Unloaded current and RPM for specified
voltages are typical values.
The amount that any motor will vary from the specified
values depends a lot on the quality of the motor. Precision motors
may all be within 5% while toy motors may vary in some measurements by
over 100%.
Many of the small DC motors are a thing of beauty.
They are amazingly precise, well finished, and will have (when used properly)
a running life longer than most of us will care about.
If you have added questions we will try to get answers.
