Re: AM Snowblower motor info

The snow blower motor, and many of the other window motor / van door motors that are available to use tend to be very low in the power range. The snow blower motor you are mentioning has a max output of about 20 watts, while a normal CIM motor has a max output of about 340 watts.

These motors are good for applications where you need to move something that doesn't' have very much load on it (turning a turreted shooter would be a good example). They are fairly compact and lightweight, and good for this kind of application. Things like climbing, which require a lot of power to do, are better accomplished with high power motors, like CIMs, 775 series motors, or 550 series motors.
