Remarks:
For a DC motor, the mechanical time constant 
mech
represents the duration needed to
reach 63% of the final speed when applying a voltage step without any resistant torque.
However this value makes sense only if the electric time constant 
elec
is much smaller than
the mechanical time constant 
mech
(for the motor EX620EAO taken as illustration, it is not
the case because we obtain 
mech<

elec
.).
An overall summary of motor time constants is given a little further.
