How much torque can be applied to a motor shaft?
Applying torque to a Moog motor shaft is a problem only when using an LC type Moog encoder. When the encoder is being used any applied torque will result in wear or binding of the internal anti-rotation surfaces and could eventually result in a loss of feedback signal as a result of encoder misalignment. On motors without an LC type Moog encoder the shafts are free to rotate.
