Hi all; I was wondering if there is a rule of thumb to convert the no-load RPM to a real-world loaded RPM for the sake of creating proper gearing. I have several motor options, one brushless and one brushed and I know the theoretical RPM of each but that's always no-load. I want to design a gearing solution to get me to the right speed but that would take knowing the more real-world load RPM. Is there a rule of thumb for this somewhere? I've heard 25% loss passed around at one point but don't know if that's valid or not. Thanks!
