If I can indulge the helpfulness and knowledge of this group, I'd like to ask a very basic speed control/ motor question. What are the practical limitations...
Ron, Basically, DC motors run on current, and more current gives more torque. Torque varies approximately linearly with current, so if you halve the current,...
Ian, That's definitely not normal. You might want to ping Uncle Rabid and see if he has any suggestions. It might be just an adjustment. Regards, Ray L. ... ...
