I tried on my bench two small 12v motors with the shaft connected - and it worked fine!!
One motor had the P/S (CH1) at 12V, the second was run in constant current mode (CH2), by varying the current in the second motor the speed (of the common shaft) slowed down. I guess this is obvious really...
Basically I'm interested in the pros/cons/implications of using a DC motor as a mechanical load... if anyone has experience in this area?
One option is a passive approach, which would be to just apply a resistor across the terminals to load the motor when it starts to spin (driven by an...
