Re: specs on van door motors
This motor is a very strange motor. It is supplied only to Delphi. It was a motor that was spec'ed out for a very short while and then changed to another spec. I suppose that these were part of some obsoleted motor stock.\

In any case, I have looked at the spec sheet for this motor (I would publish it, but it is marked "Delphi Confidential" -- sorry), the problem is that spec does not really give the data folks want, it only has a minimum speed spec at particular RPM. Very strange...

Anyway, if I had seen this note earlier, I would have responded earlier, but somehow this one got past me.

For what it is worth, the motor is not the exact same motor as the ones from prior years (the Bosch ones we had last year were also obsolete stock from but from Bosch -- they lost the business to Taigene) but they are PRETTY close. There are a bit of difference here and there but mostly not to much. I used 75 RPM free speed and 35N-m stall torque for my calcs. Things turned out about right.
