Re: Window motor RPM? and Mounts?

According to this sheet (which has 2010 motor data - the window motors from last year are the same as this year), the answer is 84 rpm free, 10.6 N*m stall torque.

As for using the window motor, we have a 2d cad drawing of the spline of the window motor output. We can waterjet that into whatever part we need (we have, in the past, cut a sprocket for 25 chain with that pattern, 1/4" discs with bolt holes, discs with bolt holes and cutouts to build a drum winch, and probably a few other things). I know 973 made a gear (here) using a waterjet - I believe they also used this in a crab drive.

We have also used the hub. We usually lathe it down a bit and drill it out to accept an Andymark plate sprocket, and once we also lathed a plug for the axle hole which we mounted a sensor to.
