Re: AndyMark Snow Blower Motor Mounting?

So we're talking about a mechanism that needs to resist back driving. I understand the concerns about this motor (trust me, I'd rather not use it) but cost and weight are an issue at this point.

Are there any other options that I'm not thinking of that would use a higher-power setup without being able to be back driven? This is an application where we can't just latch the mechanism in position and release with a servo or air cylinder.

In case you were wondering, no, this is not for a scaling mechanism.
