Re: Van Door Motor Worm Gear

We're using the van door motor for the arm. Back driving was some thing we forgot about until the testing stage. A 1/4" piece of aluminum pressing on the belt and timing pulley brakes the arm. It takes very little force. A hitech servo would do it. A window motor and van door combo would also do it.
