Hi,
I know this doesn’t exactly relate to vex but does anyone know what rpm/volt is. Example: if a motor’s rpm is listed as 1260 rpm/volt. What rpm will it be at 24 volts. Thanks for your help!
If it is listed as 1260 per volt i believe that at 24 volts the rpm would be 24 x 1260 or 30,240 rpm.

Just remember that a motor rated at 10,000 rpm at 10 volts won’t necessarily turn 100,000 rpm at 100 volts. It’s very likely that it would overheat and shut down. Physical and electrical restrictions cap the real-world maximum rpm of a motor.
Wow. this craves for a it depends answer
RPM per volt is an unloaded measurement. In most cases you don’t get a curve on how the RPM increases as the voltage increases. Any kind of load will slow the motor down. Sometimes the vendor will give a loaded graph, but that’s unusal.
Think for a second, you are using the motor to move something, so there WILL be a load involved. The VEX motors are a good example. Under no load they will scurry along, under a heavy load they tick-tick -tick along.
If you don’t have all the specs, get one and test it out. Build a test jig lifting coins (they have a published value and are easy to get) and test your motors ability.
Hi,
Thanks. The motor I was looking at can be found at http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-HTIM1.html
Also, I cant find any info on current draw or amps at a stall for this motor. If anyone knows anything about the current draw for this motor it would be most appreciated. Thanks!
