My team built an adaper to attach two window motors through a CIMple box to power our lift arm. Picture an aluminium box with the motors on one side, the shaft and plastic hub from the KOP inside, and the CIMple box on the other. We had to have a custum shaft made for us to go from the motor's hup to a bearing, to the pinion gear of the CIMple box. It has plenty of torque; however, it moves pretty fast, so we got a 60 tooth sprocket to reduce the motors/gearbox boy about 4:1 to slow it down. So far it works good.
