Hi Brenner,
The prospect of a 5 ounce weight savings with the Kontronic motor is astounding.
Can I assume that you've discussed this application with Herr Konrath?
Maybe the RPM rating for the motor is wildly conservative, but with the 1030 Kv, you are turning upwards of 35,000 RPM against the 25,000 rating.
I'm betting you've provided for this with your additional bearing and whatever support the rigid connection to the shaft provides.
If it doesn't involve spilling the secret sauce, what gives?
again ... Bravo
