How do I find the mechanical time constant of brushless AC serco motor?

Hi
How to find the Angle the motor can rotate in 50 milliseconds initially at rest.
Motor Rated speed - 6000 RPM
Max Speed - 7000 RPM
Rated Torque - 4.52 Nm
Peak Torque - 18.08 Nm
Mechanical Time Constant - 0.7 millisecond
Electrical Time Constant - 4.3 millisecond
Voltage constant - 35.2 Vrms/krpm
Torque constant - 0.583 Amp/Nm
Rotor Inertia - 2.519 Kg.cm2

See page 9 of the Maxon file.
Mechanical constant tau_m is the time constant of a first order response curve.
63% of max spped after tau_m.
Best regards.

Time taken to reach 63.2% of its maximum rated speed of the motor in no-load condition is the time constant.

Hi everyone,
I want to know how fast my motor can respond to my command and how much it can change its velocity or generated torque. For instance, is it possible to change the torque of this motor:
from 0 to 30 N.m. in 7 milliseconds?
I noticed that the mechanical time-constant is a good criterion for such a demand, but is it really the case in my question? Because I want to use this motor to move a link of a robot and use a 30:1 gearbox to get 30N.m. torque from this motor and the mechanical time constant is the time required for a given motor to reach 63.2% of its maximum rated speed in a no-load condition.
In summary, my question is how long will it take for this motor to change its torque from 0 to 30 or from -30 to 30 N.m.
