Interpreting this Data

Values of motor data may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer because of variances in the dynamometer used to test each motor and how that data is analyzed. With each motor shown on this page, REV Robotics performed the same dynamometer testing and analysis of the data collected.

Absolute vs. Relative Data

• Absolute Values for a specification are determined independently of each similar motor made by other manufacturers. Each of the specifications are determined by a manufacturer's individual testing procedures and methods of analyzing test data.

• Relative Values for a specification are found by running the same test and analysis on a motor. While the values provided may not match a motor's listed Absolute Values for a given specification, this kind of data helps us compare the motors as fairly as possible.
