I have a HH 35 turn handwound motor. It came set on the first timing mark. I have not played around with the timing, but do they come set at the highest torque timing, or can you tune more torque into them?

Are the timing marks on a motor can universal as far as what effect they have on any motor?

Thanks

...I would also love to see an answer to this - there doesn't seem to be much around about tuning motors.

Thanks.

The marks are pretty much universal. It is set to zero timing, which is the slowest speed/ highest torque setting.

Cool. Thanks!

amp draw has a ton to do with tourqe also... BRUSH TIMEING.. brushes can be timed for more speed or more tourqe..

Amp draw is torque, but advancing the timing will reduce the torque per amp. A motor drawing 30 amps at zero timing will have more torque (and less speed) than the same motor drawing 30 amps at 10 degrees timing.

There are timing marks on both sides of the endbell but only one spot on the motor can. What happens if you put the endbell on 180 degrees from the way it was? I may have done this as I wasn't paying attention... but I don't think I can tell a difference... unless maybe it isn't as torquey...

Does it matter?

It spins backwards, and nothing more.
