I am abit confused with the spec of this motor. On the full spec pdf file it says “Current at Rated Load (620g-cm): < 233mA” and on the website it says “Current (at 12v locked shaft) = 1.5A”. From my understanding the locked shaft current is the stall current, but then what is the load current? Because it says in the PDF file that you should never exceed the rated load, so is THIS then the stall torque and currrent?
Also the resistance of the motor is not specified…
Could you perhaps email ([email protected]) me a more detailed datasheet of this motor with ALL the specs.
All we do is post the information provided by the manufacturer. The stall current is just that. The amount of current the motor will draw if powered up and locking the output shaft. This condition will surely damage the motor if it is left in this state for very long.
Current at rated load is what the motor was theoretically designed for. I.e. continuous duty, always running without heating up and damaging itself.
It says you should never exceed the rated load, because the manufacturer makes motors for industries that need to have long lasting reliable motors. All motor manufacturer have these operating limitations, but most resellers don’t pass the information on for obvious marketing reasons. I do not have any additional information. We have posted all the information available for the motors we sell.
These motors are made by Hsiang Neng, a really good quality Tiawan motor manufacturer with a very long history of making high quality motors.
