Also does anyone know how this affects performance, another words if you shim it pretty tight will the motor produce more torque or rpm?
Just converted all my stuff to SP and looking to get the most out of it.....
You will NOT find a night and day different...never.
But you MUST have at least 0.2mm spacing after you mounted the motor but pulling the shaft in and out...you need to feel there is a gap between the end of the rotor and the end bell...
If you don't feel any gap/spacing after putting the motor together, that is not right...you will cook your motor.
