Re: Window Motor question
Does anyone know how to calculate the force exuded down by:

A 6 lb object, cantilevered out ~8 inches.


What is the gear ratio of the KoP FP gearbox? I don't have one on hand.

To respond to an earlier comment, the motor is only drawing 10 amps at stall, which is is a bit weird. This happens ever after the motor is starting from a cool stop.
