Redux Motor Performance Analysis
Comprehensive testing and analysis of brushless motor performance characteristics
Sustained Torque Performance
Sustained torque testing measures the motor’s ability to output a given amount of torque over time. In an ideal motor, torque is directly proportional to stator current. However, stator current limits can affect output torque due to different thermal management strategies on the controller (which may result in lower torque output, and consequently less generated heat).

Sustained torque testing measures the motor’s ability to output a given amount of torque over time. In an ideal motor, torque is directly proportional to stator current. However, stator current limits can affect output torque due to different thermal management strategies on the controller (which may result in lower torque output, and consequently less generated heat). Thermal throttling is measured as when the motor controller enables thermal protections, if available as a status flag, or when the motor torque experiences a significant drop. Thermal shutdown is measured as when the motor torque drops to 0.
Constant Current Performance
Compare motor torque output under constant stator current limits. All motors are tested with their vendor's motor controller.

Testing Methodology Details
In this test, we maintain a constant stator current limit across all motor controllers and measure their torque output over time. Thermal throttling is measured as when the motor controller enables thermal protections, if available as a status flag, or when the motor torque experiences a significant drop. Thermal shutdown is measured as when the motor torque drops to 0.

Test Setup
All motors are tested using their vendor-supplied controllers and configured to achieve a 500kV effective output through appropriate gearing. This standardization allows for fair comparison across different motor architectures while maintaining real-world relevance.
Data Collection
Performance data is collected at high frequency using precision torque sensors and thermal monitoring equipment. Each test is conducted under controlled environmental conditions to ensure repeatability and accuracy.
Quality Assurance
Every test is repeated multiple times to verify consistency. Outlying data points are investigated and tests are re-run if necessary. All equipment is regularly calibrated according to manufacturer specifications.
