Re: When is a "motor" a "motor"?

Thanks for all the quick responses, I'm discovering that that is what FRC is all about!

I have just managed to speak to a tech rep for the actuator and it is indeed an automotive motor. The motor manufactures web site states " These motors are commonly used for RV and truck step lift assemblies, window lift, awning extension, and many other applications". Its listed under wiper systems.

This is the motor -



The motor and actuator are available separately or as an assembled unit.

With that said should we buy them separately and self assemble or does having a data sheet for the motor assembly stating its automotive heritage suffice to meet the rules? This is were experience wins the day!

Thanks again for all your input.
