Beat me to it

Our servo motors for the refueling machines we build are a good example of 100% torque at 0 RPM. You can hang a fuel assembly off the hoist, with no brakes applied, and it will still not move. The motor has not been given a command to move, so it will apply as much torque as it neccessary so that the hoist does not move. You can hook up a hand wheel and try to crank the hoist up/down, but nope. It will apply full torque if it needs to, to hold that thing right where it is. Full torque at 0 RPM.
