Re: Denso Window Motor Gear Box - Legal to use?

Worm gears don't actually prevent the motor from being back driven. In order to find how much force it will resist, take the resistance of the motor times the gear reduction divided by the efficiency of the gearbox. If this torque is greater than the rating for the gearbox be wary as it will shred the gears before the motor is back driven.
