Re: Window motor or FP W/ Gearbox?

I suggest that you consult your local physics teacher or mechanical engineer. He/she can teach you the relationship between power, torque, and angular speed -- and how to convert that into a linear time on a 22-inch pull.

With the torque/power specifications of a particular motor/gearbox combination, you will then have all the tools necessary to make the right decision for the application.
