There is very little turning resistance, but then this isn't a ball-bearing
shaft with lubrication.  It is probably as little as you can expect from a
Lego part.

(...) As for using them for a balancing problem, Luis will probably want to gear up the axle at the pivot point to get a more-accurate measurement than the 1/16th rotation that the rotation sensor provides. This might add some friction on its own, (...) (27 years ago, 28-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

A quick question for those of you that have rotation sensors- do they spin freely, or would they add significant friction to a setup? I ask because I'd like to experiment with a balancing problem, and would need to measure the angle of a pole (...) (27 years ago, 28-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)
