Re: Where are the globe motors?

We have used Globes almost every year they have been available. Great torque output at slow speed and capable of full stall current without burning up. That is why they are used for satellite dish feedhorn aiming.
The window motors are about the same speed and power output but are worm gears so they are hard to backdrive. They do have thermal protection though so be careful not to put them into an overtemp condition.
