Re: Is there any actual upside to gear-free DC spindle motors?
Typically quality DC and BLDC motors exhibit maxim torque at zero RPM, with the continuous torque curve fairly flat up to max RPM.
See the Manuf. torque specs if published.
There is a sometimes a confusion between torque and HP.
DC brushed motors are typically used in treadmills and run at quite a low rpm with High torque.
