Re: resetting window motor driven arm after each round
does anyone know about a gear box with a wormdrive in it that uses a cim motor? our mentor was thinking about doing this because of the cim motors' strength.
in a related matter, what would the gear ratio need to be for a denso window motor to rotate a 10 lbs, 50 in. arm that extends to 62 in? we want it to not put too much strain so that the thermal breaker doesn't get tripped. we do have a spring on the arm so that makes it a little easier, but what would the gear ratio be without the spring, just to be safe?
