| The Twist 37/3700 spins @ 3700rpm per volt, has nothing to do with size. This is common for Kontronics they aslo make a Fun 480 which is the same size but without the fins and they are also rated by KV=rpm/volt so a Fun 480 28 spins at 2800rpm per volt. The 480 part of the number does refer to the size and it's about the same size as a speed 480 long can brushed motor. Each manufacturer comes up with their own sizing numbers so it is very hard to tell just by the model number how the motor compares to other manufacturers. for an exapmle an Aveox 27/26/1.5 would be very close to the same as a Fun 480 33 but unless you look at the data sheets you wouldnt know it just by model number. It would be nice if they could do a more standard sizeing so it would be easier to comapre across differant manufacturers, I like the first part of the aveox and the second part of Kontronics methods. Aveox uses the dimensions in the 27/26, 27mm diameter can 26mm long stator but the 1.5 refers to the number of turns so no idea how many rpm per volt, the Kontronic's Twist gives no indication of the size but 37 tells the rpm/volt. than you throw Hackers in and a B40-xxL would be about the same size as both the 27/26 and the Fun480 but just make every thing more confusing. Bottom line is you have to look for detailed specs for each motor and figure it out from there. |
