| | | (...) I think Ncm is Newtons per centimeter, but I can't remember how a Newton is defined. So, if you're spinning the drive shaft, and the counter force on the gear teeth is less than 2.5 Ncm, you're fine. If the counter force on the gear teeth is (...)

As far as I can tell, the minimum "breakaway" torque would be 2.5 Ncm (which would be Newtons*cm, or 2.5 Newtons weight, hung 1 cm out, or 1 Newton hung 2.5 cm out (about .22 of a lb, at 1" radius for those of you (...)

| | | | Ncm is the metric measure for torque, imperial is ft/lb's hence 5Ncm is the the amount of torque required before the gear will 'slip', 2.5Ncm before it will engage again. the difference is the hysterisis. one would assume that Lego has a range of (...)
