Good morning all! I have a quick question on a Breckwell 4RPM Auger Motor. Is the motor (when power supplied) supposed to turn and stop (holding voltage) or is the motor supposed to "wind down", i.e the auger spins another 1/2 turn after the light goes off? The timings are correct on the power supplied from the control board (analog).

Thanks in advance!
 
The 4 rpm's will wind down per say. More like drift to me. They have less internal resistence than a 1 rpm will. 1 rpm's will almost stop on a dime.
