My understanding of the definitions of clockwise and
counter clock wise is that it is when looking at the
face of the motor with the shafts pointing toward you.

As to why you care, this must be because you are tring
to get every last N-m of torque out of those motors and
had some freedom to design the motors to run one way of
the other.

If that is the case, I have some concerns about your
design, but Raul isn't called "the Magnificent" for
nothing. I will defer to the master.

P.S. I think that the info FIRST has published is out
of date on those van door motors in any case FYI -- as
I recall, they just re-ran the data from last year.
This is unfortunate because, after a lot of effort,
Robert Bosch has been convinced to donate the motors so
that Delphi did not have to buy them for FIRST from its
other power sliding door motor supplier, Taigene. In
any case, the specs on the Bosch and the Taigene motors
are similar but not identical. I will see what I can
do to find the print on that motor so that I can put
the better numbers up on this site. JJ
