Chris what have you been running in it?

Hi Andrew, thanks for the reply. To clarify, I'm looking at the ME-0913 motor. The mfg website states 92% efficiency between 24-96V. They give the torque constant at .15 N/Amp. I don't think that gives me the data I need. I plan to run a 48VDC system, how can I figure out what gear ratio I need for a PMAC motor such as this?
Thanks,
Chris
