DC motor for a particular application can be a rather involved process and should be done in
close consultation with MicroMo’s applications engineers. However, it is often useful to be able to "ballpark" a
motor selection on one’s own. A few rules relating to the physics and the practical application of motors should be
kept in mind:
The major constraint on motor operation is thermal in nature. The heat a motor must dissipate can always
be calculated as follows:
